An article by Adv. Zvi Gabbay that examines the willingness of the Israeli SEC to sign an enforcement agreement without a confession with regards to the offence by a violator and without such violator taking responsibility for such offence. Additionally, the article states that comparing the administrative enforcement with the criteria of criminal enforcement would not necessarily be overlapping, and one not should expect a correlation between them.

The conclusion is that enforcement agreements without confession are not illegitimate and the intervention in the SEC's judgement will be acceptable only when there is a fundamental flaw in the enforcement agreement.
