According to the complaint, during the Class Period, HMS made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that the Company lacked effective internal control over financial reporting and as a result, its financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. On March 2, 2017, HMS announced it would delay filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. The Company stated it needed additional time in order to “complete documentation related to the Company’s previously disclosed review of its CMS reserves and related internal controls over financial reporting. In this regard, the Company’s auditor has informed the Company that it has identified what it believes is a material weakness in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting related to the CMS reserves.” When this news was revealed, shares of HMS fell in value, causing investors harm.
