An administrative judge has dismissed administrative proceedings brought against CPA Gerard A.M. Oprins for his role as engagement partner in the audit of the 2004 financial results of two companies whose president went to prison for embezzling millions to support a lavish style. The ruling means Oprins will not face a three-year suspension from practicing before the SEC. While a one-year bar was imposed on Wendy McNeeley, who was the audit manager, Administrative Judge Robert Mahoney rejected the three-year suspension requested for her by the SEC's division of enforcement.
