INVESTOR ALERT: Kaplan Fox Investigates Tal Education Group For Potential Accounting Fraud

NEW YORK, April 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP (www.kaplanfox.com) is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Tal Education Group ("TAL" or the "Company") TAL.  Investors who purchased TAL securities, including TAL American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), may be affected.

On April 7, 2020, after the market closed, TAL announced that the Company had discovered "certain employee wrongdoing" in connection with the Company's routine internal auditing process.  TAL discovered irregularities and violations of the Company's business conduct and internal control policies by an employee in the Company's newly introduced "Light Class" business. Upon such discovery, TAL immediately reported to the local police. The employee has been taken into custody by the local police.   Based upon the Company's routine internal audit, the Company suspects that the employee of question conspired with external vendors to wrongly inflate "Light Class" sales by forging contracts and other documentations.   

Following this news, TAL's shares fell $3.76 per share, or 6.74%, to close at $50.82 per share on April 8, 2020 and continued to decline the next trading day.
