SEC Names its Examinations Chief in Boston

Reported by Armie Margaret Lee

The SEC tapped Michael Garrity as head of the examination program in its Boston regional office. Garrity will lead a group of 60 accountants, examiners, attorneys and support staff.

His team is responsible for examining broker-dealers, investment companies, investment advisers and transfer agents in six New England states.

Garrity's predecessor, Lucy Corkery, was appointed associate regional director for strategic initiatives last year, according to SEC spokeswoman Judith Burns.

Garrity, 54, has been with the SEC since 2001. He joined the Boston office as an examiner and rose to become assistant regional director, a post he held for the past five years.

Before joining the SEC, Garrity, a former reporter and public school teacher, was with law firm Bingham, Dana & Gould (now Bingham McCutchen) and worked as an enforcement attorney for the Massachusetts Secretary of State's Securities Division.

Washington, D.C., Dec. 19, 2011 – The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced the appointment of Michael E. Garrity to lead the examination program in its Boston Regional Office.
