On November 10, 2010, CSC announced quarterly earnings for the second quarter of fiscal year 2011 and revealed that certain accounting irregularities had been discovered in the Company's Nordic region, which would require a $40 million charge. CSC assured shareholders that the problems had been fixed and that despite several delays and setbacks, CSC's multi-billion dollar contract with the U.K.'s National Health Service ("NHS") would continue to contribute to the Company's growth.

However, beginning on or about February 1, 2011 and extending through at least June 15, 2011, CSC issued a series of disclosures dramatically decreasing the Company's actual and projected performance, and "adjusting" previously reported 2010 financial results due to accounting fraud. The Company's earlier financial projections were completely without basis and its internal auditing and controls had been materially compromised. Eventually, the Company reported a total decrease of $4.5 billion in its projections for fiscal year 2011. On June 15, 2011, the Company filed a Form 10-K with the SEC, reporting that it had been forced to make adjustments to its fiscal year 2011 results due to "intentional misconduct" by executives in the Company's Nordic Region, and that operating income for fiscal year 2010 had been overstated by $53 million. CSC further admitted that the problems that led to these adjustments were identified by the Company in April 2010, more than six months prior to any disclosure of the deficiencies to investors.
