PC maker Gateway said today in a regulatory filing that the US Attorney's office had opened an investigation into its accounting, which is already the subject of a US Securities and Exchange Commission probe.
The California-based firm said that the investigation is related to the same time period and subject matter as the previously disclosed SEC investigation, which began in December 2000.
Gateway has provided the SEC with information related to its fiscal year 2000. It also said it voluntarily restated results for 2000 and 2001.
