On February 27, 2017 AmTrust disclosed it would not timely file its 2016 annual financial statements. The Company explained it “identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting that existed as of December 31, 2016, specifically related to ineffective assessment of the risks associated with the financial reporting, and an insufficient complement of corporate accounting and corporate financial reporting resources within the organization.”
This news drove the price of AmTrust shares down over 15% during intraday trading on February 27, 2017.
On March 16, 2017, the Company disclosed it is restating certain historical financial statements and related disclosures to correct improperly recognized revenue and improperly expensed bonuses. In response, the price of AmTrust shares fell over 18% to close at $17.58 on March 17, 2017.
“GAAP violations are serious matters. We’re concerned about the recently admitted accounting irregularities requiring the restatements and the damage inflicted on AFSI investors,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
