Insights

Audit & Governance Analyst

Spire replaces PwC with KPMG as auditor following a competitive review.

The company explains that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP resigned as its independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. In response, the Audit Committee conducted a competitive process and chose KPMG LLP to take over the year-end audit, effective after the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 is filed. KPMG will first cover the quarter ending September 30, 2025.

The filing also notes that during fiscal years 2024 and 2023 and the subsequent interim period, Spire did not consult KPMG on accounting principles, audit opinions, or matters involving disagreements or reportable events. That language is designed to show KPMG is a fresh, independent choice rather than a firm that previously advised on contentious issues. The change is structurally important for oversight, but there is no additional financial data or disclosed disputes here.
