On February 19, 2021, post-market, Ebix revealed that its independent auditor, RSM US LLP (RSM), had resigned as a result of being unable, despite repeated inquiries, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence that would allow it to evaluate the business purpose of significant unusual transactions that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2020 related to the Companys gift card business in India. RSM had also stated that there was a material weakness related to Ebixs failure to design controls over the gift or prepaid card revenue transaction cycle sufficient to prevent or detect a material misstatement. Also, Ebix and RSM disagreed over the accounting treatment of $30 million that had been transferred into a commingled trust account of Ebixs outside legal counsel in December 2020.

On this news, Ebixs stock price fell $20.24 per share, or 39.89%, to close at $30.50 per share on February 22, 2020.
