On December 5, 2013, Barnes & Noble revealed that the Securities and Exchange Commission had notified the Company on October 16, 2013, that the SEC (News - Alert) had commenced an investigation into Barnes & Noble's past accounting, including its decision announced July 29, 2013, to restate its fiscal 2011 and 2012 earnings. The Company further disclosed that the SEC was reviewing a former employee's allegations that Barnes & Noble had improperly allocated "certain information technology expenses" between its Nook and consumer bookstore group in its financial reporting, and that after a review of Barnes & Noble's deferred tax assets and liabilities, it had "concluded" that a deferred tax liability should be reversed.
