Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
(a) On August 10, 2020, Century Casinos, Inc. (the “Registrant”) dismissed its principal independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP (the “Former Auditor”).
During the Registrant’s two most recent fiscal years and subsequent interim periods preceding dismissal, the Registrant had no disagreements with the Former Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved would have caused the Former Auditor to report the disagreement.
There has been no adverse opinion, disclaimer of opinion, or qualified or modified opinion in the Former Auditor’s report for any of the preceding two years.
The Registrant has requested that the Former Auditor furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of the Former Auditor’s letter dated August 10, 2020 is attached as Exhibit 16.1.
(b) On August 10, 2020, the Registrant engaged Grant Thornton LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm. During the two most recent fiscal years and the interim periods preceding the engagement, the Registrant has not consulted Grant Thornton LLP with respect to the accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant’s consolidated financial statements, or any other matters set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.
The decision to change accountants was approved by the Registrant’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors.
