Webstar, the developer behind the $3.8 billion Forge Atlanta mixed-use project, corrected a nearly $19 million accounting error in its financial statements. The correction has raised concerns about the company's ability to secure the remaining funding needed for the project. Webstar also fell further behind on its construction loan obligations following the disclosure.
Our analysts note that misplacing $19 million while building a $3.8 billion project is less an accounting error and more a lifestyle choice. The firm has helpfully demonstrated that its internal controls operate on the honor system, and the honor system is currently on a payment plan. Investors can take comfort knowing the same team that lost track of nineteen million dollars is absolutely certain about the other three point eight billion.
