Macy's Uncovers $154M Expense Concealment by Rogue Employee

TL;DR Summary
Macy's has delayed its quarterly earnings release after discovering that a former employee intentionally concealed up to $154 million in expenses over several years. The discrepancies were found during the preparation of unaudited financial results, which showed a 2.4% drop in quarterly revenue. The rogue employee, responsible for small package delivery expense accounting, acted alone, and the issue did not affect cash management or vendor payments. Macy's is conducting an independent investigation and plans to release full results on December 11.
