Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
(a) Merger Involving Independent Accountant For Benefit Plans.
(i) On January 9, 2009, we were informed by Mahoney Cohen & Company, CPA, P.C. (“Mahoney
Cohen”), the independent registered public accounting firm for the TD Bank 401(k) Retirement Plan
(the “Plan”), as follows:
| |
(1) |
|
The shareholders of Mahoney Cohen became shareholders of
Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. pursuant to an asset purchase agreement effective
December 31, 2008. The New York practice of Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. now
operates under the name MHM Mahoney Cohen CPAs. |
| |
| |
(2) |
|
The Plan is required to file this Form 8-K as notification
that MHM Mahoney Cohen CPAs succeeds Mahoney Cohen as the Plan’s independent
registered public accounting firm. |
(ii) Mahoney Cohen was initially engaged to report on the Plan’s financial statements as of
and for the year ended December 31, 2005.
(iii) During
the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 and through January 9, 2009, there
were no disagreements with Mahoney Cohen 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 Mahoney Cohen would have caused Mahoney Cohen to make reference thereto in
its reports on the Plan’s financial statements for such years.
(iv) None of the “reportable events” described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K
occurred during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 and through January 9, 2009.
(v) The reports issued by Mahoney Cohen on the financial statements of the Plan as of and for
the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principle.
(vi) The Plan provided Mahoney Cohen with a copy of
the foregoing disclosures, and a letter from Mahoney Cohen confirming its agreement with
these disclosures is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this report.
