Goldman Sachs will pay a $5.5 million civil penalty to settle alleged recording-keeping violations and for violating a prior order, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) said on Tuesday.

The CFTC's order finds Goldman violated a cease-and-desist provision of a prior order and committed record-keeping violations in connection with failing to properly record and retain certain audio files, the regulator said in a statement.
