Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("the Company") is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this "Amendment") as an update to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 16, 2017 (the "Original Filing").
The Original Filing reported that the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Directors of the Company, had completed its review of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017. As a result of this review, on March 16, 2017, the Audit Committee informed KPMG LLP of its decision to not retain KPMG LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. In addition, on March 16, 2017, the Audit Committee selected BDO USA, LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.
During the Company's fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, and the subsequent interim period through March 10, 2017, there were (i) no disagreements between the Company and KPMG LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to KPMG LLP's satisfaction, would have caused KPMG LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its report on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the relevant year, and (ii) no "reportable events" as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. The audit reports of KPMG LLP on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2015 and 2016, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
KPMG LLP has reviewed the Company's disclosures defined in Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 16, 2017, and KPMG LLP has furnished to the Company a letter addressed to the SEC. This letter is dated March 21, 2017 and is attached to this Amendment as Exhibit 16.1.
In addition, on March 21, 2017, the Audit Committee formally engaged BDO USA, LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.
