Macy’s announced Monday that a single employee was responsible for so many accounting irregularities that the company was forced to delay its quarterly earnings report, which the retailer had planned to release Tuesday.

The company recently discovered that the unnamed employee intentionally hid as much as $154 million in expenses over the course of nearly three years, prompting the retailer to conduct an independent forensic accounting investigation. The employee, whom Macy’s said is no longer with the company, “intentionally made erroneous accounting accrual entries” to hide small package delivery expenses.

Macy’s did not say why the employee hid the expenses.

Could it be, the employee trying to hide shopping expenses of the CEO and other Executives?

Nice try .. Company still has to be responsible and accountable .. So many controls and they could not catch this .. Fire their whole Finance team .. Its another failure that Macy's has ..
