comments from Scotia: WOW!Latest Research (April 26, 2023):OUR TAKE: Negative. KPMG has elected to voluntarily resign as external auditor of the company after completing its review of the company’s interim financial statements for the first quarter of 2023. Recall, on March 31, the company announced it would miss the year-end disclosure deadline as KPMG identified a potential adjustment due to a shift in the calculation of the acquisition date of a business combination from the third to the second quarter of 2022, which could require changes to the company's acquisition accounting. The company filed its disclosures on April 10.While KPMG made sure to assert there were no modified opinions or reportable events from the company’s last two financial years, it is difficult to view the departure in a positive light given the context in which it has occurred.
