Publish or be damned - failure to comply with announcement obligations can be a costly oversight

Overview

Photo–me International is the latest in a growing list of companies to be fined by the City watchdog, the Financial Services Authority, for late disclosure of inside information.

At £500,000, Photo-me faces the largest ever fine of its kind. The penalty relates to the creation of a ‘false market’ in its shares by delaying the issue of a profits warning for 44 days.
