Steinhoff International's shares crashed on Wednesday after it revealed 'accounting irregularities' and its CEO quit, shocking investors who had backed the rapid reinvention of a South African furniture chain into an international retail empire.

It put Christo Wiese, its largest shareholder and chairman, in charge and later sought to give 'additional comfort' to investors worried about its ability to fund its existing operations, saying it had identified measures that would give it around 2 billion euros ($2.4 billion) of additional liquidity.
Steinhoff said chief executive Markus Jooste, who oversaw its expansion to one of the world's largest household goods retailers over nearly 20 years, had resigned and PwC would undertake an 'independent investigation'.

The company later said its chief financial officer remained in his position and there was no evidence to suggest he had any involvement in the matters being investigated.
'It's a red flag, this is something very serious,' said Peter Brooke, portfolio manager at Old Mutual Investment Group, a top 20 shareholder in Steinhoff. It also raised wider questions about South African corporate governance and would have a negative impact on the country's assets, he added.
Steinhoff has been aggressively expanding in developed markets since moving its primary share listing from Johannesburg to Frankfurt in 2015, snapping up Britain's Poundland, U.S-based Mattress Firm and Australia's Fantastic.
Steinhoff said Wiese would 'embark on a detailed review of all aspects of the company's business with a view to maximising shareholder value', but its South African shares had slumped 61 percent to close at 15.87 rand, after hitting an eight-year low of 13.50 rand in earlier trading.
Steinhoff stock closed down 63 percent in Frankfurt, while its bonds also sold off sharply.
A spokeswoman for Deloitte Accountants B.V., which signed off Steinhoff's 2016 results, declined immediate comment.
Steinhoff, which also said it was postponing the release of its 2017 results until the probe was over, has been under investigation for suspected accounting irregularities by the state prosecutor in Oldenburg, Germany since 2015.
The company has said that move related to whether revenues were booked properly, and whether taxable profit was correctly declared.
Reuters reported last month that Steinhoff did not tell investors about almost $1 billion in transactions with a related company, despite laws that some experts say require it to do so.
It is unclear what accounting irregularities the company was referring to on Wednesday. A spokesman declined further comment and attempts by Reuters to contact Jooste were not successful.
There were wider repercussions in the Steinhoff group, with Ben la Grange, chief executive of Steinhoff African Retail (STAR), which includes control of Shoprite, also resigning and STAR shares falling more than 30 percent.
Omri Thomas of Abax Investments, the 15th largest investor in Steinhoff, said because there was no immediate prospect of any clarity on its results, it was hard to put a value on Steinhoff and this had prompted the severe share reaction.
TAX RATE QUESTIONS
Analysts have long questioned how Steinhoff managed to achieve such a low tax rate. Its tax rate has averaged 12 percent over the past five years -- half the headline corporate tax rate in its main markets and less than half the rates paid by listed competitors including France's Casino, Germany's Metro AG and South Africa's Woolworths.
Experts say such low tax rates can be the result of complex corporate structures which stretch accounting rules and such arrangements are occasionally challenged by courts as unlawful.
'The company recorded a very unusual tax rate of c. 15 percent and also guided that this would be the rate going forward,' Juergen Kolb, an analyst at Kepler Cheuvreux, said in a note, adding that if this tax rate was at risk it could also hit Steinhoff's cashflow.
Kolb also raised the possibility that as chairman, Wiese's role could now come under scrutiny too.
Steinhoff, which employs 130,000 people, did not respond to requests for information about what, if anything, Wiese knew about the accounting problems now being investigated.
Investors also told Reuters they are concerned Wiese may be forced to sell shares he bought last year with borrowed money, which would depress Steinhoff's stock further.
Wiese borrowed 1.6 billion euros ($1.9 billion) to buy additional Steinhoff shares through a family trust in September 2016, pledging 3.2 billion euros of his existing holding as security to the investment banks that lent the money.
With the share price plunge taking the security below the value of the loan, Wiese may be required by the financing banks -- Citi, Goldman, HSBC and Nomura - to post more shares as collateral, or sell part of his holding.

Every week I interview an employer that offers English speaking jobs in Germany. My goal is to interview 100 German companies that offer English speaking jobs in Germany. I do this, because it is hard to find jobs in Germany for English speakers. (Click below to find (nearly) all English job offers in Germany. ) Consider this: Only 1% of German companies hire in English.
Is there really no work in Germany for English speakers? Or do German employers think that hiring you is more trouble than your contribution is worth?
Get 100 German companies who offer English jobs in Germany. Sign up (free).
These 100 employers will get you started, but it is not enough to get you an English job in Germany.
Why? When I was recruiting international professionals for trivago, it was nearly impossible to place a candidate. Trivago is one of the few companies who offer work in Germany for English speakers. So everyone searching for jobs in Germany for foreigners will apply with the company in Düsseldorf.
My company still has a recruiting contract with trivago, but we don’t send them candidates: Trivago get 40.000 job applications per months. Your competition is insane. Most famous companies that offer english speaking jobs in Germany get this many job applications.
Which brings us to my podcast and my interviews with 100 German employers that hire English speaking professionals. I do not interview “a company”. I interview an employer. A concrete manager that offers English speaking jobs right now, in this moment.
These managers work for famous organisations like Adidas, Trivago, Marley Spoon, Flixbus or the German Red Cross. Some of my interview guests hire English speaking professionals for German startups like Lilium Aviation, Homelike, Justix, Unumotors or InterNations. But these managers who offer jobs in Germany for foreigners have one thing in common:
The managers feel the pain. HR does not.
This is how you beat hundreds of other candidates for an English job in a German company:
You care more. Know more about the concrete results that this employer is trying to achieve with this job opening. You offer exactly the right solution for the employers most pressing challenge and you completely focus on solving the managers problem, not yours.
Focus on solving the managers problem, not yours.
Why?
Every other English speaker out there will apply for a job with a standard CV, talking to HR. But HR does not know how the department head defines success for this position. They never ask, so HR can’t tell you anything that helps you to stand out of the crowd of a thousand other expats who apply. Therefore my clients and I completely ignore HR.
Become the first expat to get an English jobs in Germany (in the company of your choice.)
Instead we talk directly to the department head. We ask him about his goals, his challenges and all the other circumstances that are relevant in regard to the concrete English job that he offers. Listening carefully and asking for understanding helps us to better adress the managers real needs. Which allows us to offer a concrete contribution to his goals. I spoke to hundreds of CEO’s, CTO’s and department heads in my career. Do you know what every single one of the managers who offer English job in Germany wants?

Someone who cares. Someone who learns fast. Someone who got her or his back. Attitude, not language skills.
How do you show that you care, that you learn fast and that you got the managers back?

By knowing exactly what is keeping him awake at night. Address his his concrete problems, instead of talking in general terms.
Which brings me back to my plan to interview 100 German employers who offer English speaking jobs in Germany.
You find English speaking jobs in Germany. I introduce you to the department head.
Not everyone can afford my services, I understand. I introduce international professionals to employers who offer English speaking jobs in Germany. We are so successful that I guarantee my clients a job offer within six months, if they implement my program. So far I have a 100% success rate, and that value is reflected in my price. My clients earn salaries that start around 50.000 EUR and move up to North of 100.000 EUR p.a. If your salary is in this price range than you can probably afford to buy my Expats Job Offer Guarantee – and you are sure to work in English in a German company within six months.
If you cannot afford my time, connections and reputation: I want to help you as well.
