Hellenic Capital Market Commission summons over accounting practices
What happened
The Hellenic Capital Market Commission issued a summons concerning inflated profitability at Spire. The issue relates to accounting treatments following the 2021 acquisition of Singular Logic. Deloitte had identified intangible assets for the acquired company, determining their fair value to be approximately €13.5 million. Although Deloitte suggested a 10-year depreciation period, the company increased this to 30 years, a practice the supervisory authority considers lacks legal basis.
