The federal government is investigating Exxon Mobil for how it values its oil reserves and how it expects its business to be affected by climate change, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.

The Securities and Exchange Commission began investigating the energy giant in August, according to the report. The company is being investigated for not changing the valuation of its oil and gas reserves in the wake of plummeting prices during the last two years.
