General Electric to restate two years of earnings
The updated accounting standard, which will take into account revenue from long-term contracts, will result in a 13 cent cut in reported earnings per share for 2016 and a cut of 16 cents per share for 2017, according to the company’s 10-K filing. GE is adopting the new accounting standards as the Securities and Exchange Commission investigates the company over its accounting for long-term service contracts. The changes also come as the company struggles to reverse steep declines in some of its businesses and is looking to sell off $20 billion of assets.
