    Inflated circulation figures

    An internal-process review that began in 2022 found that reported daily circulation figures for several SPH Media publications had been overstated by approximately 10% to 12%. The findings referred to duplicate subscription counts, purchases of fictitious circulation through a project account, and circulation numbers that were derived without an adequate basis. The issue raised questions about internal controls, audience reporting, and the credibility of performance measures relevant to a publicly supported media organisation.
