3 Mar 2026 John Wood Group PLCJohn Wood Group: incorrect financial results published – almost 13 million GBP €14.9m
The energy services company published incorrect results for the 2022 and 2023 financial years and for the first half of 2024; accounting judgements were influenced by the desire to maintain previously reported figures, and systems and controls were inadequate. The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) imposed a fine of 12,993,700 GBP (18,562,500 GBP without the 30 % discount).
Accounting judgements must not be geared to figures already communicated – this is a control failure, not a calculation error.
