According to the complaint, Cognizant made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: the Company lacked effective internal controls over financial reporting; that certain improper payments were made for permits and building licenses for some of its facilities in India; and that as a result of the above, Cognizant’s statements about its business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
On September 30, 2016, Cognizant announced that it would conduct an internal investigation into whether certain payments in India violated the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The Company also announced that its President resigned. When this information was disclosed to the public, shares of Cognizant lowered in value.
