GlobalSCAPE Accused of Implementing Inadequate Financial Controls

According to the complaint, GlobalSCAPE repeatedly assured investors of the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting in its public filings. In reality, Global allegedly overstated multiple figures in its financial reports, causing them to be highly inaccurate. On August 7, 2017, Global disclosed that its audit committee was investigating transactions involving improper arrangements with customers that circumvented the company's internal controls and their effect on previously reported revenue. The company further revealed that accounts receivable and license revenue were overstated by approximately $403,000 and $396,000, respectively, and that the company would restate its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. On this news, Global's stock fell nearly 18% to close at $3.87 per share on August 8, 2017.
