Kina Securities (ASX:KSL) expects an aggregate pretax loss ranging from 12 million Papua New Guinean kina and 15 million kina related to a recent customer fraud incident.
The fraud instance affected several accounts belonging to a small number of customers, the company said in a Tuesday filing with the Australian bourse.
As a result, the financial services company expects fiscal 2024 post-tax net profit to range between 102.9 million kina and 111.2 million kina, lower than the consensus estimate of 117.8 million kina.
While Kina Securities is currently evaluating its prospects for the recovery of these fraud losses, it has assumed nil recoveries against these losses at half year.
