Financial reporting of a student lender - Brattle

On behalf of the defendants in a securities class action matter, a Principal now at Brattle assessed allegations that a student lender’s loan loss provisions and other loan quality disclosures were materially misstated. The work was performed in support of two expert witnesses – an accounting professor who evaluated GAAP accounting and financial reporting allegations and a practitioner who addressed an alleged material weakness in internal control over financial reporting (ICFR). The case settled.
