Credit Suisse, SEC letters show months-long reporting errors debate

Credit Suisse, SEC letters show months-long reporting errors debate : The last-minute delay concerned analysts and sent Credit Suisse shares to near an all-time low. The back-and-forth between the bank and the U.S. regulator extended into another week as turmoil gripped the banking sector. As recently as March 10, the SEC asked the bank to explain how it decided that an "entity-level material weakness did not exist" for its 2021 and 2022 financial years.
