Section 4 - Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements
Item 4.01 | Changes in Registrants Certifying Accountant. |
(a) At a meeting on June 7, 2007, the Audit Committee of Community Bancorp (the Company), Las Vegas, dismissed McGladrey & Pullen, LLP (McGladrey) as the Companys principal independent accountants. At the same meeting, the Audit Committee selected the accounting firm of Grant Thornton LLP (Grant Thornton) as the independent accountant for the Companys 2007 fiscal year. Both the dismissal of McGladrey and selection of Grant Thornton were subject to Grant Thorntons acceptance of the engagement. On June 19, 2007 Grant Thornton notified the Company they had accepted the 2007 engagement. The Companys Board of Directors has ratified the Audit Committees dismissal of McGladrey and selection of Grant Thornton as the independent accountant for the Companys 2007 fiscal year.
McGladreys report on the Companys financial statements for the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
In the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, and from January 1, 2007 to the date of this report, there have been no disagreements between the Company and McGladrey on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to McGladreys satisfaction, would have caused McGladrey to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its opinion on the Companys consolidated financial statements for such year, and there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has given permission to McGladrey to respond fully to the inquiries of the successor auditor.
The Company has requested that McGladrey review the disclosure in this Report on Form 8-K, and McGladrey has been given the opportunity to furnish the Company with a copy of its letter addressed to the Securities Exchange Commission containing any new information, clarification of the Companys expression of its views, or the respects in which it does not agree with the statements made by the Company herein. A copy of McGladreys response letter is attached to this 8-K as exhibit 16.1.
(b) The Company engaged Grant Thornton as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm as of the date of Grant Thorntons acceptance as set forth above. Prior to such date, the Company did not consult with Grant Thornton regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered by Grant Thornton, or (iii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a reportable event as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
