Toshiba U.S. Units Probed, Report Says Westinghouse Write-down Possible

Japan’s Toshiba Corp (6502.T) is considering a large writedown for its Westinghouse nuclear power unit, a newspaper report said on Friday, while the company confirmed that U.S. authorities are probing accounting at its U.S. units. The developments cast a shadow over Toshiba’s efforts to draw a line under last year’s $1.3 billion accounting scandal by streamlining its bloated businesses, whose poor performances had been masked by years of false bookkeeping.
