How are energy investors positioned?
In a recent regulatory filing, Enviri Corporation (NYSE:NVRI), a diversified services company, announced the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as its new independent registered accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The decision, made by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors on Monday, concludes a strategic evaluation that began in 2024 to select a firm for auditing services.
The engagement of Deloitte is contingent upon the completion of standard client acceptance procedures and the signing of an engagement letter. This move comes as part of Enviri Corp's efforts to enhance its auditing and financial oversight mechanisms, particularly important given the company's significant debt burden of $1.56 billion, as revealed by InvestingPro analysis.
During the past two fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through today, Enviri Corp has not sought advice from Deloitte on any accounting principles or auditing matters that would significantly impact its financial statements. There have been no disagreements or reportable events between Enviri Corp and Deloitte that would raise concerns about the company's accounting practices.
The current auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, will complete its services following the submission of Enviri Corp's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024. The transition to Deloitte reflects Enviri Corp's commitment to maintaining the highest standards of financial reporting and transparency.
This change in the company's certifying accountant is detailed in the 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The switch to Deloitte is a significant step for Enviri Corp as it looks to the future and aims to uphold rigorous financial accountability for its stakeholders.
