SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On October 28, 2026 Endava plc (NYSE: DAVA) admitted in a filing with the SEC that accounting for agreements with certain customers were not correctly accounted for, that its CFO Mark Thurston left his positions three days before, and its CEO John Cotterell was replaced with an interim CEO. The company also said that General Counsel Rohit Bhoothalingam resigned a couple of days before.
Endava also said that its Audit Committee determined that Endava's financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2025, the three months and six months ended December 31, 2025, and the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 should no longer be relied on by investors.
In the same announcement, Endava said, "certain agreements entered into by the Company in fiscal 2026 with counterparties that were both customers and suppliers […] lacked economic substance" and "revenue recognition and balance sheet entries for the associated transactions were not in compliance with relevant accounting standards."
The company's share price fell 12% after already having fallen 24% on September 22, 2026, when Endava first revealed its Audit Committee internal investigation.
Investors who purchased or acquired Endava American Depositary Shares (ADSs) between Sept. 4, 2025 and Sept. 21, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"), and who suffered losses, may move the Court for lead plaintiff appointment no later than Nov. 30, 2026.

Endava plc ($DAVA) Securities Class Action:
The securities class action focuses on whether Endava and its executive leadership issued materially false or misleading statements regarding the company's financial condition, internal accounting controls, and revenue recognition practices. Throughout the Class Period, Endava allegedly assured investors that its financial statements fairly presented its financial condition and that its internal controls over financial reporting were effective. The complaint alleges that defendants concealed improper accounting treatment for customer and supplier agreements, including non-compliant revenue recognition and balance sheet entries.
The truth allegedly emerged after the market closed on September 21, 2026, when Endava announced that its Audit Committee had launched an internal investigation into concerns raised by the company's outside auditors regarding customer and supplier agreements. Endava disclosed that its Chief Financial Officer had been placed on administrative leave and that the company would delay filing its annual financial results for fiscal year 2026. On this news, the price of Endava ADSs plummeted over 24% to close at $2.11 per share on September 22, 2026, causing significant losses for shareholders. Subsequently, Endava confirmed that certain agreements lacked economic substance, requiring the restatement of quarterly financial statements across fiscal year 2026.
Hagens Berman's Investigation
Hagens Berman is actively investigating the alleged claims under Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in the pending litigation.
