PNC restated its 2001 income by $155 MM under S.E.C. questioning, and five senior exectuives have since resigned. (The Philadelphia Inquirer, August 29, 2002 ) The S.E.C. found that PNC had moved $762 MM of debt off its books and into 3 special purpose entities, which allowed it to overstate its earnings by 52% in 2001. PNC's actions caused its stock value to drop 15% the day it restated. (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, July 30, 2002)

Over the next 10 years, PNC Financial Services Group has a goal to better prepare 2.8 million children for school in the cities it serves.
Chairman and CEO James E. Rohr contends that the $100 million the company will invest in its PNC Grow Up Great program, though significant, is only one reason why the program will succeed.
“We really view this $100 million as an investment in our community,” Rohr said during the Sept. 8 announcement at PNC’s Firstside operations center. He added that he believes the financial commitment is the largest ever corporate commitment to prepare children for school.
