What happened?

On September 21, 2026, after the market closed, Endava announced its Chief Financial Officer, Mark Thurston, was placed on administrative leave "upon the recommendation of the Company's Audit Committee of the Board." The decision was made "pending the conclusion of an ongoing investigation being conducted by independent outside counsel for the Committee, which was initiated in response to the Company's outside auditors raising concerns about the Company's accounting treatment of certain customer and supplier agreements and related matters."

On this news, the price of Endava's American Depositary Shares ("ADS") fell $0.68 per share, or 24.37%, to close at $2.11 per share on September 22, 2026, thereby injuring investors.

What is the Endava plc lawsuit about?

The Endava plc securities lawsuit alleges that, between September 4, 2025 and September 21, 2026, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about Endava plc's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, the complaint alleges defendants failed to disclose that: (1) the accounting treatment for certain customer and supplier agreements and related matters required additional review; (2) as a result of the foregoing, the Company would delay the release of its fourth quarter and full year 2026 financial results; (3) there was reason to doubt the effectiveness of the Company's internal controls and procedures; and (4) as a result, defendants' positive statements about Endava plc's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

"The lawsuit against Endava plc alleges that, among other things, the Company failed to tell investors that the accounting treatment for certain customer and supplier agreements and related matters required additional review. Endava plc investors who bought during the class period may be able to pursue their losses, and the November 30, 2026 deadline is where that process begins," said Howard G. Smith of The Law Offices of Howard G. Smith.
