Item 4.01    Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On November 25, 2024, after the completion of a competitive selection process, the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Maximus, Inc. (the “Company”) approved (i) the dismissal of Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”), the Company’s current independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of the date hereof, and (ii) the engagement of KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025, subject to the execution of an engagement letter and completion of KPMG’s standard client acceptance procedures.
The audit reports of EY on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, and the subsequent period through November 26, 2024, there were no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) between the Company and EY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, and there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, as well as the subsequent period through November 26, 2024, neither the Company nor anyone on the Company’s behalf consulted KPMG regarding any of the matters referred to in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided EY with a copy of the disclosure contained in this section of this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that EY furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the foregoing disclosure. A copy of EY’s letter dated December 2, 2024 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
