SEC filingDouglas Elliman Inc. dismissed Deloitte & Touche LLP as its independent auditor effective April 6, 2026, and appointed EisnerAmper LLP as its new auditor for fiscal year 2026, with no disagreements or adverse audit reports.
The change in independent registered public accounting firm from Deloitte & Touche LLP to EisnerAmper LLP was a deliberate decision by Douglas Elliman Inc.'s Board, recommended by the Audit Committee, signaling a planned transition without any reported issues. Deloitte's clean audit history for the past two fiscal years and absence of disagreements through the dismissal date reduces concerns over accounting reliability or past financial reporting integrity. Deloitte's letter in Exhibit 16.1 explicitly agrees with the company's disclosures on the dismissal but remains neutral on the new engagement, which is standard. No consultations with EisnerAmper prior to appointment further confirms the process was routine. Investors should monitor EisnerAmper's upcoming audit opinions for continuity in financial reporting quality.
