Freedom Holding Corp.
- Prior financial statements no longer reliable; cash flow classification errors require restatement.
- Loans issued misclassified as operating instead of investing; deposits from banks as operating instead of financing.
- Misclassifications had no impact on operating performance or reported KPIs.
- Material weakness identified in control activity over cash flow classification; disclosure controls and ICFR deemed ineffective.
- Company plans to restate as soon as practicable; discussed with auditors WSRP and Deloitte Kazakhstan.
