8-K Item 4.01: Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
The company changed its independent auditor — the auditor resigned, was dismissed, or a new one was engaged.
Why it matters
An auditor change can be routine, but it can also precede or follow disagreements over accounting — a classic governance warning sign.
What to check
Whether the auditor resigned or was dismissed, whether there were any disagreements or reportable events, and whether the prior auditor’s letter agrees with the company’s account.
Red flags
- Auditor resignation (vs. routine rotation)
- Disclosed disagreements on accounting treatment
- A downgrade from a large national firm to a small one
