TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a) Former independent registered public accounting firm
On April 3, 2006, the Audit Committee of Post Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Post Properties, Inc. 2005 Non-Qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”), which became effective on January 1, 2005.
During the year ended December 31, 2005 and through April 3, 2006, there were no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, would have caused such firm to make reference thereto in their report for the year ended December 31, 2005.
During the year ended December 31, 2005 and through April 3, 2006, there were no reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the financial statements of the Plan for the year ended December 31, 2005 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was such report qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. The Company has provided PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP with a copy of the forgoing disclosures. Attached as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s letter, dated April 4, 2006, stating whether or not it agrees with such statements.
(b) New independent registered public accounting firm
On April 3, 2006, the Audit Committee of the Company appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Plan’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2006.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and through April 3, 2006, neither the Company nor anyone on the Plan’s behalf consulted with Deloitte & Touche regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Plan’s financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event as defined in Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K.
