DEADLINE ALERT - Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LL

NEW YORK, April 28, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC reminds investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against HMS Holdings Corp. (“HMS” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: HMSY ) and certain of its officers, and is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased HMS securities between May 10, 2016 through March 2, 2017, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”). Such investors are advised to join this case by visiting the firm’s site: http://www.bgandg.com/hmsy .

This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, and failed to disclose that: (1) HMS lacked effective internal control over financial reporting; and (2) consequently, HMS’s financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On March 2, 2017, after market hours, HMS revealed that it would delay filing its annual report for the 2016 fiscal year, and that its auditor had identified what it believed was a material weakness in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting related to CMS reserves.  HMS also said that it is “continuing to evaluate whether this issue affects its consolidated financial results, primarily focusing on prior periods in which revenue relating to the CMS business was recorded.”  Following this news, HMS stock dropped over 9% pre-market on March 3, 2017.
