Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On August 31, 2022, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Werewolf
Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company") appointed Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y") as the
Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 2022, subject to completion of E&Y's customary client
acceptance procedures. The decision to change auditors was the result of a
request for proposal process in which the Company evaluated the credentials of
several firms, including Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte").
On August 31, 2022, the Audit Committee also dismissed Deloitte as the Company's
independent registered public accounting firm.
The audit report of Deloitte on the Company's consolidated financial statements
as of and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021 did
not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of an opinion, and were not
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the subsequent
interim period through August 31, 2022, there were no disagreements (as defined
in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304
of Regulation S-K) with Deloitte 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 Deloitte, would have
caused Deloitte to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in
its audit reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements for such
years.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and in the subsequent
interim period through August 31, 2022, there were no reportable events (as
defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Company has provided Deloitte with a copy of the above disclosures and has
requested that Deloitte furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the
statements made above. A copy of Deloitte's letter dated September 7, 2022 is
attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this report.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the subsequent
interim period through August 31, 2022, neither the Company nor anyone on its
behalf has consulted with E&Y 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
consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice
was provided to the Company that E&Y concluded was an important factor
considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any 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 to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as
defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
