Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountants.
(a) Dismissal of Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On September 5, 2023, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of BILL Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. The dismissal was not related to any disagreements with EY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
Other than as described below, the reports of EY on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and during the interim period through September 5, 2023 there were (i) no disagreements within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K between the Company and EY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, any of which, if not resolved to EY’s satisfaction, would have caused EY to make reference thereto in their reports, and (ii) no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except for the material weakness in the Company's internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, previously reported in Item 9A of Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 26, 2023, which related to the Company’s insufficient testing, documentation, and evidence retained to conclude on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting of certain information systems and applications within the quote-to-cash process as of June 30, 2022, and was subsequently remediated as of June 30, 2023, as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, filed with the SEC on August 29, 2023. This reportable event was discussed among the Audit Committee and EY. EY has been authorized by the Company to respond fully to the inquiries of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), the successor independent registered public accounting firm, concerning this reportable event.
The Company provided EY with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that EY furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made herein and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of such letter provided by EY, dated September 7, 2023, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
(b) Appointment of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On September 5, 2023, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of PwC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and during the interim period through September 5, 2023, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with PwC regarding any of the matters described in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
