Appian Corporation Faced Investigation Over Risk Disclosure Failures and Geopolitical Exposure

Appian Corporation faced an investigation over allegedly hiding major risks tied to their work with Raiffeisen Bank, which has been linked to Russian money laundering.

What is this investigation about?

In March 2025, the independent researcher Lauren Balik reported that Appian's revenue and operations are significantly tied to Raiffeisen Bank, an Austrian institution under scrutiny for Russian money laundering. The report also claimed that Appian's disclosures became more vague following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

The company’s CFO previously held a senior role at MicroStrategy during its 2000 accounting scandal. This precedent raises concerns about past disclosure practices and whether Appian gave a clear warning about its international risks.

The case is already under investigation by at least one reputable law firm.
