PwC removes concern over casino operator's finances

PwC confident enough with the cards dealt to Las Vegas Sands that the auditor removes its going concern statement

Written by Kevin Reed

The famous Las Vegas Sands casino business has had a going concern warning reversed, after raising new capital.

Las Vegas Sands, which is one of the biggest casino operators in Las Vegas, was issued with a going concern statement from its auditors PricewaterhouseCoopers a month ago. But after Sands raised over $2bn in new capital, PwC removed its concern, reported Reuters.

'We previously concluded that there was substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management has subsequently taken certain actions which we have concluded remove that substantial doubt,' PwC said in a regulatory statement.

The casino industry has been hit with a slowdown, problems accessing credit and the Chinese government has looked into Macau's growing market, Reuters reports.
