Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
Following an extensive evaluation process, on September 5, 2024, Interface, Inc. (the “Company”), upon approval of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) of the Company, notified BDO USA, P.C. (“BDO”) of its dismissal as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective upon completion by BDO of its audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 29, 2024 and the filing of the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
BDO’s reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and January 1, 2023 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 fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and January 1, 2023, and the subsequent interim periods through September 5, 2024, there were: (i) no disagreements within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions between the Company and BDO on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to BDO’s satisfaction, would have caused BDO 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.
The Company has requested that BDO furnish 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 September 9, 2024, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
Following an extensive evaluation process, on September 5, 2024, the Audit Committee of Interface, Inc. (the “Company”) selected Ernst & Young, LLP (“EY”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 28, 2025, subject to completion of EY’s standard client acceptance procedures and execution of an engagement letter.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and January 1, 2023 and the subsequent interim periods through September 5, 2024, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has consulted with EY regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific 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 the Company that EY concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions; or (iii) any reportable event within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
