Overview

  • The discrepancies stemmed from incorrect accounting of internal derivative trades, particularly early terminations, which led to premature recognition of notional profits.

  • The board is taking steps to address accountability, reassign senior management roles, and strengthen internal controls to prevent future lapses.
