Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of PagerDuty, Inc. (the “Company”) conducted a competitive process to determine the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2025. Following a review and evaluation of the proposals from the participating firms, on April 10, 2024, the Audit Committee dismissed Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective immediately.
The audit report of EY on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2024 and 2023 did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, and the subsequent interim period through April 10, 2024, there were no (i) “disagreements” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and EY on any matter 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 to the subject matter of the disagreement in their reports on the financial statements for such years, or (ii) “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
In accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Company has provided EY with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and has requested that EY furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Committee stating whether EY agrees with the statements made by the Company set forth above. A copy of EY’s letter, dated April 12, 2024, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
(b) Appointment of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
As a result of the process noted above, on April 10, 2024, the Audit Committee selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm for its fiscal year ending January 31, 2025, effective immediately.
During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, and any subsequent interim period through April 10, 2024, neither the Company, nor any party on behalf of the Company, consulted with PwC with respect to either (i) 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, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by PwC that PwC concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
