(b) New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On September 6, 2012, the Audit Committee of the board of directors of Aviat Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the engagement of KPMG LLP as its new independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending June 28, 2013. The engagement became effective on September 18, 2012 upon completion by KPMG LLP of its standard client evaluation procedures.
During the two most recent fiscal years ended July 1, 2011 and June 29, 2012 and the subsequent interim period preceding the appointment of KPMG LLP, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted KPMG LLP regarding either (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 as such, neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that KPMG LLP concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and the related instructions to this Item) or a “reportable event” (as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 304(a)(1)(v)).
