Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Nebius Group N.V. is changing its independent auditor, with the Board and Audit Committee recommending that shareholders approve the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. Reanda Audit & Assurance B.V. will be dismissed as auditor after completing the audit of the 2025 financial statements and the review of the first quarter ending March 31, 2026, subject to shareholder approval of Deloitte at the 2026 annual general meeting.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, Reanda issued an unqualified opinion on Nebius’s financial statements, but expressed an adverse opinion on internal control over financial reporting as of that date. The company states there were no disagreements with Reanda on accounting, disclosure, or audit matters, and that it did not consult Deloitte on accounting or audit issues before this proposed appointment. Reanda’s confirming letter to the SEC is filed as an exhibit.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Adverse internal control opinion: The outgoing auditor issued an adverse opinion on Nebius’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, indicating material weaknesses in controls even though the 2024 financial statements themselves received an unqualified opinion.
Insights
Nebius plans an auditor change while disclosing an adverse internal control opinion.
Nebius proposes replacing Reanda Audit & Assurance B.V. with Deloitte & Touche LLP as its independent auditor from the 2026 fiscal year, pending shareholder approval and Deloitte’s client acceptance procedures. Reanda will complete the 2025 audit and the first-quarter 2026 review before its mandate ends.
Reanda’s report on the year ended December 31, 2024 gave a clean opinion on the financial statements but an adverse opinion on internal control over financial reporting. The company reports no disagreements or reportable events with Reanda and says it did not consult Deloitte on accounting or audit opinions during 2024–2025.
This combination—adverse internal control opinion and an upcoming switch to a larger audit firm—highlights control remediation as an important focus. Subsequent annual reports after the December 31, 2025 audit will show whether internal control issues are addressed and how Deloitte evaluates the control environment.
