The investigation concerns whether AECOM and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 

On August 16, 2016, Spruce Point Capital Management published a report on AECOM (the "Spruce Point Report"), stating that "after a careful forensic financial and accounting analysis of AECOM's recent financial results and condition, we believe that AECOM's stock is worth approximately 33% - 45% less than its current price."  Among other issues, the Spruce Point Report cited "material weaknesses of internal controls over financial reporting associated with [the Company's] acquisition of URS [Corp.]" and AECOM management's "misaligned incentive structure," pursuant to which the Company's "CEO's $18 million compensation in 2015 [was] heavily tied to its aggressive interpretation of its Free Cash Flow per share." 

On this news, AECOM stock has fallen as much as $1.73, or 4.93%, to $33.36 during intraday trading on August 16, 2016.
