NEW YORK--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC is investigating potential claims on behalf of purchasers of the securities of Ebix, Inc. (aEbixa or the aCompanya) (NASDAQ: EBIX), concerning whether the company has violated federal securities laws.

On March 24, 2011, Seeking Alpha Published a report questioning Ebix practices. According to the EBIX's filings, KPMG LLP resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company. Just prior to its resignation, KPMG found:

(1) delegation of authority and what KPMG considered to be inadequate reviews by a person other than the preparer of accounting information, (2) the lack of a formalized contract review process to ensure proper revenue recognition, (3) the lack of a complete understanding of the Companya™s income tax positions and related accounts, (4) inadequate documentation for certain unusual transactions (including the basis for the Companya™s accounting conclusions), and (5) internal control matters (documented and testable control environment) under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

The article continues to state that in addition to unusual accounting, Ebix has other issues including multiple auditor resignations, governance abuses, misrepresented organic growth, and questionable cash flow. On this news, shares of Ebix plummeted almost 24% to close at $22.52 per share.
