The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the Company improperly recognized revenues to inflate short-term profits; (2) the Company's CEO, Salil Parekh, bypassed reviews and approvals for large deals to avoid accounting scrutiny; (3) management pressured the Company's finance team to hide information from auditors and the Company's Board of Directors; and (4) as a result, Defendants' statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
On October 21, 2019, before the market opened, the Economic Times reported that an anonymous group calling itself "ethical employees" sent a whistleblower complaint to the Company's audit committee and the SEC. The whistleblower complaint stated that Defendant Parekh was using "unethical practices" to boost short-term revenues and profits.
On this news, Infosys ADSs fell $1.28 per ADS, or over 12%, to close at $9.29 per ADS on October 21, 2019, damaging investors.
