Accounting, asset valuation, and governance controversy
Tiphook faced creditor and shareholder concerns over the valuation of acquisitions, depreciation practices, the declining value of containers and trailers, and the reliability of published accounts. Criticism also focused on executive remuneration, company-financed share purchases, and corporate benefits associated with founder Robert Montague. The controversy contributed to management departures, restructuring, and a proposed United States shareholder class action.
