According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges on behalf of purchasers of Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation (NYSE: BAH) common shares between May 19, 2016 and June 15, 2017, that the defendants violated Federal Securities Laws. More specifically, the plaintiff claims that between May 19, 2016 and June 15, 2017, the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation engaged in improper accounting practices in its contracts with the U.S. government, that consequently, the Company’s revenues derived from services provided to the U.S. government were inflated and unsustainable, that discovery of the foregoing conduct would subject the Company to heightened regulatory scrutiny, potential criminal sanctions, and jeopardize its business relationship with the U.S. government, and that as a result of the foregoing, Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation reported that its Total Revenue rose from over $5.4 billion for the 12 months period that ended on March 31, 2016 to over $5.8 billion for the 12 months period that ended on March 31, 2017 and that its Net Income for those respective time periods declined from $294.09 million to $252.49 million.
On June 15, 2017, Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation disclosed that on June 7, 2017, Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation, was informed that the U.S. Department of Justice is conducting a civil and criminal investigation relating to certain elements of the Company’s cost accounting and indirect cost charging practices with the U.S. government.
