Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the Audit Committee) of Franklin Covey Co. (the Company) recently completed the process it undertook in accordance with its previously announced policy to review the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm every five years. Pursuant to this policy, the Audit Committee conducted a competitive process to select a firm to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the remainder of fiscal 2016.
Following the completion of this process, and after careful deliberation, on May 6, 2016 the Audit Committee engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP (Deloitte) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the remainder of the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016. During the fiscal years ended August 31, 2015 or August 31, 2014, and in the subsequent interim period through May 6, 2016, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has consulted with Deloitte on any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.
As previously announced in a current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 26, 2016, the Audit Committee dismissed Ernst & Young LLP (EY) from its role as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on April 20, 2016.
