PHILADELPHIA, PA, UNITED STATES, May 9, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Kehoe Law Firm, P.C. is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Flex Ltd. (NASDAQGS: FLEX) ordinary shares to determine whether Flex and certain of its officers or directors engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices.

On April 26, 2018, Flex, “the Sketch-to-Scale™ solutions provider that designs and builds Intelligent Products for a Connected World™,” issued a press release which disclosed that ". . . the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, with the assistance of independent outside counsel, is undertaking an independent investigation of allegations made by an employee including that [Flex] improperly accounted for obligations in a customer contract and certain related reserves. The independent outside counsel also notified the San Francisco office of the Securities and Exchange Commission of the allegations and that it will report the findings of the independent investigation upon its conclusion."

On the news of the accounting allegations, the stock of Flex dropped more than $3.61 per share, or over 21.6%, to close at $13.03 per share on April 27, 2018.
