SEC Charges Maxwell Technologies with Fraudulent Scheme

According to a press announcement yesterday, the Securities and Exchange Commission has charged Maxwell Technologies, Inc., and one of its former sales executives in a fraudulent revenue recognition scheme designed to inflate the company’s reported financial results.

According to the order, a former Maxwell sales executive and corporate officer, allegedly inflated the company’s revenues by entering into secret side deals with customers.  The employee was charged with falsifying records in order to conceal the scheme from Maxwell’s finance and accounting personnel and external auditors.
