On March 1, 2018, WageWorks announced “it is delaying its Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended December31, 2017 and its financial results and associated conference call for the fourth quarter of 2017.”
This news drove the price of WageWorks shares down $9.75, or nearly 19%, to close at $42.70 on March 1, 2018.
The next day, Defendants explained the Company’s audit committee is conducting an investigation into WageWorks’ revenue recognition during fiscal 2016 that may ultimately result “in the identification of other accounting issues, further material weaknesses, and/or require the restatement of the Company’s financial statements for previous periods.”
In addition, SEC filings show WageWorks’ CEO sold approximately $34 million of his shares during June 2017.
“We’re focused on Defendants’ compliance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether the CEO’s sales were improper, and investors’ losses,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.

Under the new program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.
