Item 4.01 | Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant. |
(a) On October 28, 2014, the Board of Directors of Camden National Corporation (the "Company") approved the engagement of McGladrey LLP ("McGladrey") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the Company's 2015 fiscal year, and notified Berry Dunn McNeil and Parker, LLC ("Berry Dunn") of its dismissal from that role.
The audit report of Berry Dunn on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and through the subsequent interim period preceding the date of Berry Dunn’s dismissal, there were: (1) no disagreements between the Company and Berry Dunn on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Berry Dunn would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years, and (2) no reportable events within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has provided Berry Dunn with a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8-K and has requested that Berry Dunn furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the Company’s statements in this Item 4.01. A copy of the letter dated October 31, 2014 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
(b) During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the subsequent interim period preceding the engagement of McGladrey, the Company did not consult McGladrey regarding: (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; (2) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and McGladrey did not provide any written report or oral advice that McGladrey concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any such accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (3) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event.
