Spruce Point Capital Management has taken a short position in WSP Global ($WSP.TO), citing concerns over what it describes as 'opaque' reporting practices and a history of corruption scandals associated with its leadership. The investment firm highlighted issues stemming from WSP Global's acquisition of Wood, alleging improper accounting practices. Furthermore, Spruce Point revealed an undisclosed whistleblower complaint alleging tax evasion by WSP Global, involving an Indian entity and shares in a Cyprus entity. WSP Global's stock experienced a significant drop following these allegations, with Spruce Point issuing a 'strong sell' recommendation. The firm also referenced a past scandal involving WSP Global's Vice Chairman, who was reprimanded by the Disciplinary Council of Quebec Engineers. Spruce Point's actions and the subsequent market reaction underscore the gravity of the allegations against WSP Global.
