Forgot to pre-clear a trade

So I impulsively bought $35 worth of shares as a joke to show my friends. But I totally forgot to pre-clear those trades.

So today I got an email from the compliance office asking me what the reasoning was for placing a trade without pre-clearing, and I told them I had forgot entirely.

I’m worried what the repercussions are on this. I’ve seen a few past threads on this subject but was hoping for updated information.

I am currently working in back-office settlements and have been here for a few months now.

Any insight on this is highly appreciated.
