Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
On May 27, 2022, Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. ("MHM"), the independent registered
public accounting firm to Altisource Portfolio Solutions, S.A. (the "Company")
informed the Company of its decision to resign from this role effective the
earlier of (i) the date the Company engages a new independent registered public
accounting firm or (ii) the filing of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2022. MHM stated that it is
resigning because it intends to no longer provide audits of client's internal
control over financial reporting ("ICFR"). As a public company with revenue in
excess of $100 million, the Company is required to have an audit of its ICFR.
MHM's reports on the financial statements for the fiscal years ended December
31, 2021 and 2020 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion,
and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or auditing
principles.
Further, during the Company's fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and
the subsequent interim period through May 27, 2022, there were (i) no
disagreements with MHM 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 MHM, would have caused it
to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection
with its report, and (ii) no reportable events, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v)
of Regulation S-K.
The Company is in the process of identifying another public accounting firm and
will file a Form 8-K following the selection.
MHM has provided the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and
Exchange Commission stating that it agrees with the statements contained above
insofar as they relate to MHM. A copy of such letter is filed as an exhibit
hereto.
