Noble Group vehemently rejects accounting fraud accusations

The group has been hit with a trading query.

Noble Group vehemently denied allegations of accounting fraud which surfaced today, after the Singapore Exchange issued a query regarding the sharp drop in its share price.

A scathing report by Iceberg Research charged that Noble “exploits the accounting treatment of its associates to avoid large impairments and fabricate profit”.

“Noble Group Limited refers to the statements about the Company made by the research firm Iceberg Research. The Company completely rejects the allegations. All material information to which Iceberg Research refers is in the public domain. There has been no material adverse change since the Company last reported. The Company reserves its rights against Iceberg Research,” the group stated in a release on the SGX.

The company will announce its 2014 results on 26 February 2015.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
