  • When the SEC Alleges Corporate Accounting Fraud: First Steps When Conducting an Investigation
    When the SEC Alleges Corporate Accounting Fraud: First Steps When Conducting an Investigation By Tracy Richelle High, Partner, and Nicole R. Smith, Associate, Sullivan & Cromwell LLP While there are many techniques to distort the financial condition of a publicly traded company, the most frequent types of improprieties involve revenue recognition, cost or expense recognition, accounting for reserves, and accounting related to business combinations.1 Over the past five years, the rate of issuer financial statement and reporting-related enforcement actions by the SEC’s Division of Enforcement has fluctuated. They were 29% of total enforcement actions in 2005, a percentage which decreased to 24% in 2006, increased to 33% in 2007, decreased to 23% in 2008, and decreased again to 22% in 2009.2 Below we provide a brief overview of the most recent federal lawsuits brought by the SEC where companies or individuals were fined for conduct involving these errors,3 and also identify key issues a lawyer should consider while charting the course of an investigation. Revenue Recognition Improper revenue recognition is the most common accounting error pursued by the SEC.4 Revenue is considered realized and earned, and therefore properly recorded, when all 1 See PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 2009 Securities Litigation Study 30 (2009), available at http://10b5.pwc.com/PDF/NY-10-0559%20SEC%20LIT%20STUDY_V7%20PRINT.PDF. 2 See SEC, Select SEC and Market Data 2005 - 2009, available at http://sec.gov/about.shtml. In addition to SEC civil enforcement actions, the government has increasingly initiated parallel criminal proceedings through the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”).

  • Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting May 5, 2012 These Notes Are Recollections Only, Without the Aid of a Recording Device
    Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting May 5, 2012 These notes are recollections only, without the aid of a recording device. They should not be relied upon. –PB WB: Good morning. I’m Warren and this hyperkinetic fellow is Charlie. We’ll conduct this pretty much as we have in past. We’ll take questions until 3:30, and then begin the regular meeting of shareholders at that time. Feel free to shop. See ‘s Candy has placed a lollipop at every seat, and if you could open the lollipop now we’ll post a picture on Facebook, and for the media. And now you can take off the cover and good part comes. CM and I have fudge and peanut brittle. If we’ve consumed 10k calories each we’ll have to stop early. We released Q1 earnings yesterday. In general, all our companies with the exception of those in residential construction have pretty much shown good earnings. Our five largest non-reinsurance companies all had record earnings last year, $9bil pre-tax. I said that I thought they would earn $10bil pretax this year, and nothing we have seen so far would cause me to backtrack on this. One cost at Geico is an accounting change or deferred policy acquisition cost, dpac. No change on cash, but took earnings down 250m pretax. It is a deferred advertising issue. We had a terrific Q1 at Geico, float grew and we had a 9% margin. The Dpac charges may affect 2Q and a little in 3Q, but underlying figures are somewhat better than what we’ve presented.

  • 2019 Insurance Fact Book
    2019 Insurance Fact Book TO THE READER Imagine a world without insurance. Some might say, “So what?” or “Yes to that!” when reading the sentence above. And that’s understandable, given that often the best experience one can have with insurance is not to receive the benefits of the product at all, after a disaster or other loss. And others—who already have some understanding or even appreciation for insurance—might say it provides protection against financial aspects of a premature death, injury, loss of property, loss of earning power, legal liability or other unexpected expenses. All that is true. We are the financial first responders. But there is so much more. Insurance drives economic growth. It provides stability against risks. It encourages resilience. Recent disasters have demonstrated the vital role the industry plays in recovery—and that without insurance, the impact on individuals, businesses and communities can be devastating. As insurers, we know that even with all that we protect now, the coverage gap is still too big. We want to close that gap. That desire is reflected in changes to this year’s Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.)Insurance Fact Book. We have added new information on coastal storm surge risk and hail as well as reinsurance and the growing problem of marijuana and impaired driving. We have updated the section on litigiousness to include tort costs and compensation by state, and assignment of benefits litigation, a growing problem in Florida. As always, the book provides valuable information on: • World and U.S. catastrophes • Property/casualty and life/health insurance results and investments • Personal expenditures on auto and homeowners insurance • Major types of insurance losses, including vehicle accidents, homeowners claims, crime and workplace accidents • State auto insurance laws The I.I.I.
