Renold plc
Completion of investigation
27 August 2019
Renold plc ("Renold" or "the Group"), a leading international supplier of industrial chains and related power transmission products, today issues the following statement.
Summary
On 9 July 2019, the Group announced the postponement of the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") to permit the preparation of revised audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2019, following the identification of historical accounting issues in the Gears business unit, which is part of the Torque Transmission division.
In order to prepare accurate revised financial statements, an independent internal audit investigation, supported by PwC, has been undertaken to assess the extent and impact of the historical misstatement of results. This independent investigation has now been concluded and the Board can confirm that these issues, the nature of which were as set out in the announcement of 9 July 2019, were confined to the Gears business unit.
With the independent investigation complete, revised financial statements have been prepared and audited. The over-statements of profit for the years ended 31 March 2018 and 2019 are broadly consistent with the guidance provided on 9 July 2019 and the final outcome of the investigation does not affect the outlook commentary provided at that time. A summary of the adjustments made to the historic accounts as a result of this investigation is provided below.
Investigation and findings
A review of the Gears business unit was initially undertaken following comments made by the Auditor to the Audit Committee regarding application of accounting controls in the business unit. The initial management investigation identified intentional misstatement of results at a local level, and as a result the Board immediately initiated an independent internal audit investigation, supported by PwC, reporting directly to the Audit Committee.
In the announcement on 9 July 2019, the Company reported that the initial investigation had identified a total overstatement of the balance sheet at 31 March 2019 of GBP1.8m. The more extensive independent investigation largely corroborated the initial findings, in addition to identifying further errors which principally impact profit in the year to 31 March 2017. The cumulative effect of these misstatements resulted in net assets at 31 March 2019 being overstated by GBP2.5m in total, and adjusted operating profit in the year to 31 March 2019 being overstated by GBP1.0m.
This independent investigation concluded that the misstatement was a result of intentional mis-reporting of financial information at a local level. The misstatement comprised many adjustments across a number of balance sheet categories. The impact on cash and net debt of GBP0.3m is unchanged from the announcement on 9 July 2019.
Robert Purcell, Chief Executive of Renold, said:
"These events are frustrating and deeply disappointing but the Board, in conjunction with the Audit Committee, have acted swiftly to fully investigate all matters. We are working closely with Deloitte, the Group's Auditor, to ensure that recommended improvements to the internal control environment are quickly and effectively implemented.
"With the investigation and audit of the revised accounts completed, we can refocus our efforts on operational improvement and generating value for shareholders."
Impact of findings on historical financial results
A summary of the impact of the adjustments is set out below. More detail is included in notes 27 and 28 of the revised 2019 annual report and accounts which can be found on the Group's website at www.renold.com.
