Item 4.01
|
Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
|
|
|
On March 23, 2011, Knight Transportation, Inc. (the "Company") dismissed Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte") as its independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to dismiss Deloitte was approved by the Company's Audit Committee. On March 29, 2011, the Company appointed Grant Thornton LLP ("Grant Thornton") as its independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. The decision to retain Grant Thornton also was approved by the Company's Audit Committee.
Deloitte’s reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of an opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and through March 23, 2011, there have been no disagreements with Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to its satisfaction, would have caused Deloitte to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such years; and there were no reportable events, as listed in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has provided Deloitte with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and has requested that Deloitte review such disclosures and provide a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission as specified by Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K. A copy of Deloitte's letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission is attached to this report as Exhibit 16.1.
During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and through March 29, 2011, the Company did not consult with Grant Thornton regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
