Pathward Financial said on June 26, 2025 that its audit committee concluded financial statements for fiscal 2021 through 2024 and interim periods through March 31, 2025 should no longer be relied upon.

Management also concluded there is a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.
Affected loan programs totaled $207.0 million as of March 31, 2025 and $218.3 million as of September 30, 2024, within total loans and leases (net) of $4.39 billion and $4.03 billion, respectively.
The company will amend its Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024, including an adjustment to beginning shareholders' equity as of October 1, 2021.
