Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
At a meeting on April 15, 2008, the Audit Committee of Meta Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”), approved the engagement of KPMG LLP as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008. The Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended December 31, 2007, and March 31, 2008, will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as reasonably practicable following KPMG’s completion of its quarterly financial statement review procedures.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through the engagement of KPMG, the Company did not consult with KPMG regarding (1) 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 consolidated financial statements, or (2) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement with the Company’s prior independent registered public accounting firm on accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of such firm, would have caused such firm to make reference to the matter in its report, or a “reportable event” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of the Regulation S-K
A copy of the Company’s press release announcing the engagement of KPMG is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
