Opinion PER CURIAM.

Petitioner contests the factual basis for the Commission’s order 1 finding that he had willfully aided and abetted violations of (a) the “net capital” rule — which requires a broker-dealer to maintain sufficient liquid assets to protect its customers 2 — (b) the requirement that proceeds of a public offering- be promptly placed in an escrow account 3 and (c) certain reporting 4 and recordkeeping 5 provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and barring him from association with any broker or dealer. That ruling followed proceedings in which the Commission undertook the burden of proving various violations by a preponderance of the evidence. 6 We remanded 7 the *1369 record to the Commission for further consideration in light of our decision in Collins Securities Corporation v. SEC, 8 wherein we held that a Commission decision finding that a broker-dealership infringed certain antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws and ordering the offender barred from association with any broker or dealer must faithfully observe a elear-and-eonvincing-evidence standard of proof.

The Commission, in its opinion pursuant to the remand, ruled that this case is distinguishable from Collins and on that ground deemed the standard of proof initially applied to have been proper. 9 Additionally, the Commission examined the record and concluded that “the evidence with respect to all of Chatham’s violations [was] clear and convincing.” 10 We have carefully reviewed the record ourselves and find that there is substantial evidence 11 to support this determination; in other words, the Commission’s ruling that Chatham’s violations have been proven by clear and convincing evidence is reasonable on this record. 12 Since the Commission’s action must be upheld under either standard of proof, we need not and do not resolve the applicability of Collins here. The order of the Commission is accordingly affirmed.

So ordered.
