News Highlight – Banks
CBN disagrees with the FRCN over Stanbic IBTC sanction
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) have questioned the regulatory decisions taken by the Financial Reporting
Council of Nigeria (FRCN) against Stanbic IBTC Holdings (Stanbic; Hold, Target Price: N28.82, Current Price:
N18.91).
The FRCN in a statement late last month, had directed Stanbic to withdraw and restate their financial
statements for full years 2013 and 2014, and suspended the FRC registration numbers of four of its Directors,
following its indictment of the bank for a number of infractions relating to;
1. Sale, purchase, and assignment agreements
2. Statutory audits and auditors independence
3. Presentation and concealment of information,
4. Misleading disclosures based on transactions with holding company)
5. Unrecognised intangible assets,
6. Franchise/management fees (National Office for Technology Acquisition and Promotion related issues);
and
7. Regulatory breaches.
Despite Stanbic’s claim that FRCN’s allegations were inaccurate, Stanbic’s share price has declined by 13.5%
since FRCN’s statement was released.
In a letter signed by the CBN governor on Monday however, the CBN pointed out that Stanbic had not
committed any serious infractions in its financial statements and added that the FRCN failed to follow due
process laid down by the FRCN Act.
We expect Stanbic’s management to provide more clarity on this development during its 9M 2015
teleconference call next week Monday.
