Impact Escrow has not filed its annual audit report for fiscal years ended 2020, 2021 and 2022, in violation of the Escrow Law, Financial Code section 17406. Pursuant to Financial Code section 17406, all licensees under the Escrow Law are required to file an annual audit report containing audited financial statements within 105 days after the close of their fiscal year. Impact Escrow’s fiscal year-end is December 31. The Commissioner, through her staff, had made numerous demands to Impact Escrow to submit the required annual audit reports but none of the abovementioned annual audit reports were submitted.
The Commissioner is authorized to impose a penalty under Financial Code section 17408 for Impact Escrow’s failure to file its annual audit reports. As of November 8, 2021, the accrued penalty for the late filing of the 2020 annual audit report amounts to $166,500.00. In or around March or April 2022, the Commissioner received information that Impact Escrow has closed its business as of December 31, 2021. Despite numerous notices and attempts of communication concerning the surrender process, Impact Escrow has failed to follow the proper surrender process including submitting a written request to surrender its escrow agent license and failing to provide the necessary documents, including the closing audit. Under the Escrow Law, Financial Code section 17600, Impact Escrow’s escrow agent license remains in effect until it is surrendered, revoked, or suspended.
