Overview

While the restatement process can be incredibly complicated to begin with, this company experienced turnover during this time, with departing key executives, turnover in the accounting team, and the replacement of their external audit firm. The pressure was on to be timely and thorough so that the re-issued information would meet the auditor’s and the SEC’s expectations.
