On Feb. 6, 2020, CIRCOR announced its CFO resigned effective Mar. 2, 2020.  Then, on Mar. 2, 2020, CIRCOR announced it would not timely file its year end 2019 financial report, it had identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, and it was investigating accounting and reporting matters at one of its domestic business units that has been classified as discontinued operations.  Further, on Mar. 14, 2022, within months of the abrupt departures of the Company's new CFO and its CEO, CIRCOR announced that it and its auditor "uncovered accounting irregularities in the financial statements with respect to the Company's Pipeline Engineering business unit, which is a part of its Industrial reporting segment." The Company said (1) the irregularities preliminarily appear to account for balance sheet and income statement entries in the range of $35 to $45 million of pre-tax income on a cumulative basis over a period of at least five years, and (2) it would restate its 2019 - 2021 financial statements.  Most recently, on Apr. 6, 2022, CIRCOR announced preliminary adjustments to 2021, 2020, and Q4 2020 revenues of $8.7 million, $6.2 million, and $2.2 million, respectively, that are related to Pipeline Engineering accounting irregularities.

On this news, CIRCOR's stock price fell $0.53 per share, or 2.09%, to close at $24.74 per share on April 6, 2022.
