The company said it failed to identify $44 million after-tax calculation error as it does not have adequate controls to ensure correctly implemented changes to long-term care insurance claim reserves review in the third quarter.
Genworth said failure of disaster recovery systems and business continuity plans could adversely impact profitability and business, and said it aims to complete implementation of the control enhancements during 2015
