Bernstein Liebhard LLP today announced an investigation into Enterprise Financial Services Corporation (“Enterprise” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: EFSC), following the Company’s disclosure of an accounting error which caused it to overstate income on loans covered by Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (“FDIC”) loss-share agreements.
On January 25, 2012, the Company stated that it will restate its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the first three quarters of 2011 and 2010.
