Sony to pay up
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.SONY has agreed to pay a $1m (pounds 630,000) fine to settle charges levied by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that it violated reporting provisions applicable to foreign investors, the SEC said.
According to the Commission, in the four months preceding Sony's November 1994 writedown of about $2.7bn of goodwill associated with the acquisition of its Sony Pictures subsidiary, the company made "inadequate disclosures" about the nature and extent of Sony Pictures' net losses and their impact on the company's consolidated results. Sony agreed to pay the $1m fine without admitting or denying the SEC's allegations.
