Summary Sarama Resources Ltd, listed on the ASX and TSXV, has replaced its external auditor. HLB Mann Judd resigned effective 10 February, and the board appointed Davidson & Company LLP as the successor effective 13 February. The change has been recorded in formal filings with Canadian and Australian regulators and the company says the proper notification and confirmation procedures were followed.
What happened – The company filed a Notice of Change of Auditor and provided confirmation letters from both the outgoing and incoming firms.
– The Audit Committee recommended the appointment and the full board ratified it before the announcement. – The Change of Auditor Package — the notice plus the two confirmation letters — has been posted on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and submitted to the relevant exchanges and regulators.
Why this matters – The new auditor will sign future financial statements and become the primary contact for audit-related disclosures. – Sarama says this is a routine governance step intended to ensure uninterrupted independent audit coverage. No audit qualifications or material issues were disclosed in the filings. – The appointment runs to the next annual general meeting, when shareholders will have the opportunity to confirm or reconsider the appointment.
What investors should watch for – Any further filings or regulator commentary that might reveal additional information about the handover or prior-period work. – New auditor reports, management commentary, or restatements if the incoming auditor identifies matters that require disclosure. – Updates on SEDAR+ and the company’s continuous disclosure record for the full, authoritative documentation.
Practical details – Effective dates: HLB Mann Judd resigned on 10 February; Davidson & Company LLP was appointed 13 February. – Where to find the filings: SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and the relevant exchange filing platforms. – Contact for inquiries: Andrew Dinning, Sarama Resources Ltd, [email protected], +61 8 9363 7600.
