The payment processor’s shares have whipsawed for more than a year after several media reports raised questions about accounting methods, all of which the company has rejected. The concerns relate to Wirecard’s Singapore operations. Wirecard has said its reporting obligations were “followed properly.” Shares are down more than 40% from their peak in March 2018.
(Jan 12): Wirecard AG Chairman Wulf Matthias resigned after months of controversy over the digital payments company’s accounting practices.
Matthias stepped down as chairman of the supervisory board for personal reasons, and will be replaced by Thomas Eichelmann, the Aschheim, Germany-based company said Friday in a statement. Matthias will remain a member of the board.
