Unilever NV Research Report

On July 26, 2013, Unilever NV (UN) reported that the Company's Audit Committee has invited distinguished accountancy firms to tender for UN's statutory audit contract, as PricewaterhouseCoopers will finish its term as UN's auditor after the completion of their accounts audit for the year 2013 (period ending December 31, 2013). Commenting on this announcement, CFO of UN, Jean-Marc Huët, stated, "To maintain Unilever's position at the forefront of good governance, we have decided to put our statutory audit work out to tender with the intention of nominating a new external auditor for 2014. Our business is very large in scale and reach, with operations in over a hundred countries. The challenge that this poses for our auditors has been successfully met by PricewaterhouseCoopers over many years and we have always been impressed with the rigour and quality of their audit. However, given changes in the regulatory environment and market expectations, it makes sense for Unilever to rotate its auditors at this time."
