There will not be some sort of criminal charges. During a routine financial flying, hp said the company it bought last fall deliberately hid how much profit and someone cooked the books. It is an incredibly serious allegation. Hp has launched an investigation of what it calls Forensic Accounting and notified the u. S. Government. We believe there is a willful effort on the part of autonomy management to mislead shareholders and mislead potential buyers, including hp. We stand by the review that we have seen. As you know, we have turned it over to the sec. The Enforcement Division of the sec and the fraud office in the u. K. The purchase occurred under a previous ceo, but whitman was on the board at the time and did vote in favor of the purchase. She puts the blame squarely on the former ceo, former autonomy officers and the person who signed off on the books. Thanks, scott. Irony here is hp was already in trouble before it discovered the alleged fraud. Computer and printer sales have been sinking thanks to the ipad and iphone. Meg whitman made her attempts as ceo to turn hp around and it would take far longer than she first thought. Nor is the first time the board has been mired in controversy. Almost ten years ago, the then chairwoman, was conspireing with lawyers to spy on employees to look for leaks in the company. Hp crafted a plan to break into newspaper offices, but it was never carried out. Hp shares are down 14 . That is a 14year low. Stay with nbc bay area and nbcbayarea. Com all day long.
