About the Lawsuit

On February 27, 2017, AmTrust disclosed that it had identified a “material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting” and that it required additional time to file its 2016 annual financial statements with the SEC. AmTrust further disclosed that the material weakness “related to ineffective assessment of the risks associated with the financial reporting, and an insufficient complement of corporate accounting and corporate financial reporting resources within the organization.”
On this news, the price of AmTrust’s shares plummeted.
