http://www.cnbc.com/id/23110639 American International Group, the world's largest insurer, disclosed that its auditors questioned the company's internal controls over its valuation of derivatives, sending its shares down more than 11 percent.
The disclosure cast doubt on AIG's past contention that it didn't face major problems stemming from the credit crisis that has slammed other financial institutions.
PricewaterhouseCoopers, the company's outside auditors, concluded that the company had a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting relating to the fair
valuation of credit default swap portfolio obligations of AIG Financial Products Corp, the company disclosed in a regulatory filing.
AIG has not yet determined how much the value of AIG Financial's super senior credit default swap portfolio had declined as of Dec 31, 2007, the company said.
More shoes dropping. I was wondering about the insurance companies.
