The number of firms barred by FINRA also dropped from 30 to 24 in 2013, a decrease of 20%, while the number of individuals suspended or barred rose. The number of individuals suspended jumped from 549 to 670 in 2013, an increase of 22%, while the number of individuals barred rose from 294 to 429 in 2013, an increase of 46%.
According to FINRA’s “Statistical Review,” the number of disciplinary actions declined slightly from 1,541 to 1,535 in 2013.
