Explanation
Forging a client's signature is forgery — a serious crime. The designated broker must terminate the forger's affiliation, notify the DOL as required by law, inform the client of the forgery, and likely report the matter to law enforcement. Covering up or delaying action could also expose the designated broker to discipline.
