Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
As previously announced, on March 12, 2013, the Audit and Compliance Committee of the Board of Directors of StellarOne Corporation (the “Company”) approved the selection of Crowe Horwath LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. Crowe Horwath LLP has completed its standard client acceptance procedures and has been formally engaged by our Audit and Compliance Committee as our independent registered public accounting firm.
During the two years ended December 31, 2012 and from December 31, 2012 through the selection of Crowe Horwath LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf had consulted Crowe Horwath LLP with respect to any accounting or auditing issues involving the Company. In particular, there was no discussion with the Company regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the consolidated financial statements, or any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a “reportable event” with its predecessor independent registered public accounting firm (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K of the SEC’s rules and regulations).
