Item 4. Changes in Registrants Certifying Accountants
On March 15, 2004 Redding Bancorp determined not to renew the engagement of its independent accountants, Deloitte & Touche LLP and appointed Moss Adams LLP as its new independent accountants effective immediately. The decision not to renew the engagement of Deloitte & Touche LLP and to retain Moss Adams LLP was approved by Redding Bancorps Board of Directors upon the recommendation of its Audit Committee. Deloitte & Touche LLPs report on Redding Bancorps 2003 financial statements was issued in February 2004, in conjunction with the filing of Redding Bancorps Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.
During Redding Bancorps two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2003, there were no disagreements between Redding Bancorp and Deloitte & Touche LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Deloitte & Touche LLPs satisfaction, would have caused Deloitte & Touche LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports.
The audit reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP on the consolidated financial statements of Redding Bancorp & Subsidiaries as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. A letter from Deloitte & Touche LLP is attached as Exhibit 16.1.
During Redding Bancorps most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, Redding Bancorp did not consult with Moss Adams LLP regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
