Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
Effective as of October 10, 2022, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (the “Company”) approved the engagement of Baker Tilly US, LLP (“Baker Tilly”) to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, subject to Baker Tilly’s completion of its standard client acceptance procedures.
During the two fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and the subsequent interim period through October 10, 2022, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has consulted with Baker Tilly 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 financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to us by Baker Tilly that was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any other matter that was the subject of a disagreement as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K or a reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
On October 5, 2022, the Audit Committee notified BDO USA LLP (“BDO”) that BDO was dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to dismiss BDO was approved by the Audit Committee.
The reports of BDO on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.
During fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the subsequent interim period through October 5, 2022, there were no disagreements as described under Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K with BDO on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to BDO’s satisfaction, would have caused BDO to make reference to the subject matter thereof in connection with its reports on the financial statements of the Company for such years. In addition, during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the subsequent interim period through October 5, 2022, there were no reportable events as described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has provided BDO with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that BDO furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of BDO’s letter, dated October 10, 2022, is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
