Item 4 . 01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
On February 21, 2018, HV Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed BDO USA, LLP (“BDO”) as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to change the Company's independent registered public accounting firm was the result of a request for proposal process in which the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors conducted a comprehensive, competitive process to select the independent registered public accounting firm, and which action was ratified by the Board of Directors.
The audit reports of BDO on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for each of the two most recent fiscal years ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 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.
During the Company's two most recent fiscal years ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 and during the subsequent interim period from July 1, 2017 through February 21, 2018, (i) there were no disagreements with BDO on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures that, if not resolved to BDO's satisfaction, would have caused BDO to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports and (ii) there were no “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided BDO with a copy of the disclosures in this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company has requested that BDO issue a letter stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made above. A copy of BDO’s letter dated February 21, 2018 to the SEC is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
On February 21, 2018, the Audit Committee engaged S.R. Snodgrass, P.C. (“Snodgrass”) as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending June 30, 2018.
During the two most recent fiscal years ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 and during the subsequent interim period from July 1, 2017 through February 21, 2018 , neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted Snodgrass 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 neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Snodgrass 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 ” or a “ reportable event ” , each as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v), respectively.
