EXPLANATORY NOTE
On November 4, 2013, MidWestOne Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Filing”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to report that, on November 4, 2013, the Company formally engaged McGladrey LLP (“McGladrey”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2014. In connection with the engagement of McGladrey, on October 30, 2013, the Company notified KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) that it would be dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm upon the completion of its independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.
This Amendment No. 1 to Form 8-K amends the Original Filing to confirm that KPMG has completed all activities related to its independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, and that KPMG’s dismissal as the Company’s independent auditor was therefore effective as of March 6, 2014. This Amendment No. 1 also updates the disclosures provided in the Original Filing through the completion of services by KPMG.
Item 4.01 | Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant |
The audit reports of KPMG on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 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. The audit reports of KPMG on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 did not contain any 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 December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the subsequent interim period through March 6, 2014, there were no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG, would have caused KPMG to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such years.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the subsequent interim period through March 6, 2014, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted McGladrey with respect to 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 consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that McGladrey concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either 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 defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the subsequent interim period through March 6, 2014, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Company has provided KPMG with a copy of the above disclosures and has requested that KPMG furnish the Company a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made above. A copy of KPMG’s letter dated March 6, 2014 is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Amendment No. 1.
Item 9.01 | Financial Statements and Exhibits |
16.1 Letter from KPMG LLP dated March 6, 2014.
