Under Item 7.01, the Company also furnished a press release (Exhibit 99.1) announcing the appointment. The disclosure is furnished, not filed, and therefore is not subject to Section 18 liability.
Aside from this leadership change, the filing contains no financial statements, earnings data, or transactional details.
Friedman Industries announced a significant change in its auditing relationship as Moss Adams LLP merged with Baker Tilly US, LLP effective June 3, 2025. Following this merger, Moss Adams resigned as Friedman's independent registered public accounting firm, and the company's Audit Committee approved Baker Tilly as the successor auditor.
Key audit details:
- Moss Adams' audit reports for FY2024 and FY2025 contained no adverse opinions, disclaimers, or qualifications
- No disagreements occurred between Friedman and Moss Adams on accounting principles, practices, or procedures
- No reportable events requiring disclosure under Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)
- No prior consultations between Friedman and Baker Tilly regarding accounting principles or audit opinions
The transition appears routine, resulting from the merger of accounting firms rather than any audit concerns. Moss Adams has provided a letter to the SEC confirming these statements, filed as Exhibit 16.1.
