Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On April 13, 2016, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Unique Fabricating, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the dismissal of Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP (“Baker Tilly”) as our independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately, and notified them of such dismissal.
Baker Tilly's report on the Company's consolidated financial statements, as of and for the fiscal years ended January 3, 2016 and January 4, 2015, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the years ended January 3, 2016 and January 4, 2015 and through Baker Tilly’s dismissal on April 13 2016, there were (1) no “disagreements” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and Baker Tilly on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, that, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Baker Tilly, would have caused Baker Tilly to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its reports on the consolidated financial statements for such periods, and (2) no “reportable”events (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Company furnished Baker Tilly with a copy of this Form 8-K and requested that Baker Tilly furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements above. A copy of Baker Tilly's letter to the SEC is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Concurrent with the decision to dismiss Baker Tilly, the Audit Committee appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as our independent registered public accounting firm.
During the Company's fiscal years ended January 3, 2016 and January 4, 2015 and through April 13 2016, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted Deloitte with respect to (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company that Deloitte concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a “disagreement” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or “reportable event” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
In approving the selection of Deloitte as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, the Committee considered all relevant factors, including any non-audit services previously provided by Deloitte to the Company.
