According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Ardent did not rely on "detailed reviews of historical collections" to determine what accounts receivable were still collectable, despite its claims to investors. The Company "utilized a 180-day cliff at which time an account became fully reserved," an approach that allowd it to delay recognizing losses on uncollectable accounts. The Company failed to maintain appropriate levels of professional malpractice liability insurance. Based on these facts, the Company's public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Ardent, investors suffered damages.
