PwC puts Noble Group’s contested mark-to-market methods to the test

It will initiate a third-party review.

A review by auditor PricewaterhouseCoopers will put Noble Group’s contested mark-to-market models and valuations to the test.

The embattled commodity trading giant today said that it has commissioned PwC to conduct an assurance review of Noble's MTM models, valuations, and governance framework.

Noble’s MTM model came under fire from short sellers early this year, which brought about an unprecedented share price crash.

The group has also set up an independent Board Committee consisting of four non-executive independent Noble Board members: Paul Brough, who will serve as Chairman, joined by Irene Lee, Richard Margolis and Christopher Pratt.

On completion of the PwC's review, the Committee shall report to Noble Group's Board and a summary of the review will be released to the public.

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.
