Amid rising scrutiny over financial disclosure standards in the biotech software sector, law firm Johnson Fistel has initiated an investigation into potential securities law violations by Simulations Plus. According to reports, the probe focuses primarily on the company's decision to cut its revenue guidance and the recording of a substantial $77.2 million impairment charge.
