22 Nov 2024 United Parcel Service Inc. (UPS)UPS: goodwill of UPS Freight division incorrectly valued – 45 million USD USADisclosure and reporting obligations €43.2m

UPS based the valuation of UPS Freight on a consultant's appraisal of around 2 billion USD, although its own analyses had arrived at only about 650 million USD, and did not record a required goodwill impairment. UPS is paying 45 million USD and must introduce training for certain executives, board members and employees and engage an independent compliance consultant.

What organisations can take from it

Valuation reports are only as good as the information given to the valuers – internal findings must feed into impairment tests.
