UBS was fined 30 million pounds ($48 million) by Britain’s financial watchdog and put under extra scrutiny by its Swiss counterpart over failings that allowed a rogue trader to lose $2.3 billion.
Announcing the fine on Monday, Tracey McDermott, director of enforcement at Britain’s Financial Services Authority (FSA), said the Swiss bank’s risk control systems were “seriously defective.”
