CURRENT REPORT
Item 4.01 | Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant. |
On August 26, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Capital City Bank Group, Inc. (the “Company”) determined to engage BKD, LLP (“BKD”) as the Company’s new auditors. On August 31, 2021, the Audit Committee determined that the independent public accounting firm of the Company, Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”), would be replaced by BKD for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. The appointment of BKD and EY’s dismissal for the 2021 audit became effective on August 31, 2021.
EY’s audit reports on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 did not contain any adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the subsequent interim period through August 31, 2021, (i) there were no disagreements between the Company and EY on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of EY, would have caused EY to make reference in their opinions to the subject matter of the disagreement, and (ii) there were no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K with respect to the Company during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the subsequent interim period through August 31, 2021.
The Company has provided EY with a copy of the foregoing statements and has requested and received a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not EY agrees with the above statements. A copy of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the subsequent interim period through August 31, 2021, neither the Company nor anyone acting on behalf of the Company, consulted with BKD 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 financial statements; or (2) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a “reportable event” described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
