The payments group had predicted vindication from a special audit — it did not arrive
Dan McCrum and Olaf Storbeck
Financial Times, 29 April 2020
For months Wirecard had confidently predicted that KPMG would vindicate its accounting and deliver a final riposte to its sceptics. Instead, the publication on Tuesday of a report from the accounting firm caused shares in the Dax 30 company to crash 26 per cent as investors learnt that KPMG’s investigators had faced obstacles in their attempts to verify that large parts of the business were real, and publication of full-year results would be delayed again. The shares fell another 7 per cent on Wednesday.

Data: BuyIns.net — Naked Short List, Trigger Alerts & Reports
Data
Regulation SHO took effect January 3, 2005, and provides a new regulatory framework governing short selling of securities. It was designed with the objective of simplifying and modernizing short sale regulation and providing controls where they are most needed. At the conclusion of each settlement day, data is provided on securities in which: 1) there are at least 10,000 shares in aggregate failed deliveries for the security for five consecutive settlement days, and 2) these failures constitute at least 0.5% of the issuer’s total shares outstanding. SEC Regulation SHO, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, mandates that, if a clearing agent has had a fail-to-deliver position for 13 consecutive settlement days, that clearing agent, and the broker/dealer it clears for, must purchase securities to close out its fail to deliver position.
BUYINS.NET has automated the collection of this data from NYSE, AMEX, NASDAQ, OTCBB and PINKSHEETS every night and uses counters to track which stocks are about to have forced covers.
