Keystone collapse tied to GAAS violations and audits
The OCC accused Grant Thornton of GAAS violations in Keystone audit work for FNB Keystone and its subsidiary Keystone Mortgage Corp. The bank failed in 1999 with FDIC losses estimated at 750 to 850 million dollars, marking a top ten U.S. bank failure. The findings contrast with a 2005 ALJ ruling and cite insufficient audit expertise in loan securitization.
