Super Micro’s shares plunged 30% on Wednesday morning after the company disclosed its auditor had resigned following months of disagreement with the firm over its governance and board independence.
Ernst & Young in its resignation letter said it was “unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by management.” The accountancy also raised concerns about the board’s independence from CEO Charles Liang and “other members of management.”
EY had been hired to audit Super Micro for the first time for the 2024 fiscal year, the company said. Super Micro has still not issued its financial statements for this year, and is reportedly under federal investigation.
