The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain actions by certain officers and directors of World Acceptance Corp. caused damage to the company and its shareholders.

In April 2014 a lawsuit was filed against World Acceptance Corp over alleged securities laws violations.

A federal judge recently denied World Acceptance's motion to dismiss the allegations.
