About the Lawsuit
On October 26, 2018, Costco announced its financial results for Q4 and FYE September 2, 2018, disclosing that it had “identified a material weakness in internal control related to ineffective information technology general controls… that support the Company’s financial reporting processes” and as a result, it had concluded that “the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective.” On this news, the price of Costco’s shares plummeted.
The case is Johnson v. Costco Wholesale Corporation, 18-cv-01611.
