Item 4.01 Changes in Benefit Plan Certifying Accountant.
On May 9, 2006, the Eaton Personal Investment Plan (the “Plan”) terminated its client-auditor relationship with Ernst & Young LLP and appointed Meaden & Moore, Ltd as its employee benefit plan auditor. This change in auditor was approved by the Pension Administrative Committee, which administers the Plan.
The change in accountants did not result from any dissatisfaction with the quality of professional services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP.
During the Plan’s past two fiscal years, the principal accountant’s reports on the Plan’s financial statements have not contained an adverse report or disclaimer of opinion, or been qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Furthermore, during the Plan’s two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim periods, there have been no disagreements over any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. The Plan has requested Ernst & Young LLP to furnish it a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of that letter, dated May 9, 2006, is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K.
During the Plan’s two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period, no one acting on behalf of the Plan has consulted Meaden & Moore regarding (i) either the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Plan’s financial statements or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event.
The change in the accounting firm described above pertains only to the financial statements of the Plan and does not affect Ernst & Young’s engagement as the independent registered public accounting firm of Eaton Corporation.
