ALTRIA GROUP, INC. Annual Report (Amendment), Year Ended Dec 31, 2021

Altria Group, Inc.'s 10-K/A filing from May 31, 2022, primarily serves as an amendment to its previously filed annual report for the period ending December 30, 2021. This specific amendment references the incorporation of ABI Financial Statements and the auditor's report from PwC Bedrijfsrevisoren BV, located in Belgium, within Exhibit 99.3. This suggests that the core financial reporting and auditor's opinion for the period are contained within this referenced exhibit, rather than being fully detailed within this amendment itself. Investors should pay close attention to Exhibit 99.3 for a comprehensive understanding of Altria's 2021 financial performance and the independent audit findings. The filing also includes Exhibit 23.1, a consent from the independent registered public accounting firm, PwC Bedrijfsrevisoren BV. This consent is a standard component of SEC filings, confirming the firm's approval for its report to be included in the filing. While this amendment doesn't introduce new material financial data directly, it ensures the completeness and proper referencing of audited financial statements and auditor opinions for the 2021 fiscal year.
