iSOFT is an international supplier of software applications for the healthcare sector. Its products are used by more than 8,000 organisations in 27 countries for managing patient information and healthcare services.
The company, headquartered in England, is heavily involved in the UK National Health Service's National Programme for IT (NPfIT), which aims to connect over 30,000 doctors in general practice to almost 300 hospitals and to give patients access to their own healthcare information.
Although iSOFT’s revenue increased by 8.4% to just over £200m in 2005-6, the company reported a pre-tax loss of £343.8m for the 12 months ended 30 April 2006, due mainly to a one-off ‘goodwill impairment’ charge of £351.4m – a non-cash adjustment related to iSOFT’s acquisition of other companies in recent years.
In August 2006, it was confirmed that the UK government watchdog, the Financial Services Authority (FSA), was investigating possible accounting irregularities at iSOFT, in relation to the years ended 30 April 2004 and 2005.
