Clarity Mortgage Administration Inc. holds a mortgage administrator licence, licence number 12499.
In a letter dated March 8, 2019 sent to CLARITY MORTGAGE ADMINISTRATION INC., the Superintendent of Financial Services (“Superintendent”) advised of the intention to impose a summary administrative penalty of $2,000 against CLARITY MORTGAGE ADMINISTRATION INC. for failing to file a copy of its audited financial statements within 90 days after the end of its 2016 and 2017 fiscal year end, contrary to section 3 of Ontario Regulation 193/08.
Pursuant to subsection 40 (2) of the Act, the Superintendent provided CLARITY MORTGAGE ADMINISTRATION INC. with the opportunity to make written submissions, which were to be received by the Superintendent’s delegate on or before April 12, 2019. CLARITY MORTGAGE ADMINISTRATION INC. did not provide a written submission by the deadline.
Therefore, pursuant to subsection 40(1) of the Act and subsection 15(1) of Ontario Regulation 193/08, the Superintendent orders a summary administrative penalty against CLARITY MORTGAGE ADMINISTRATION INC.
ORDER
