Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 20, 2024) - Northwest Healthcare Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX: NWH.UN) (the "REIT" or "Northwest") announced today that the REIT's Audit Committee has completed a thorough evaluation process for the 2025 audit engagement and that the REIT's Board of Trustees has, based on a recommendation from the REIT's Audit Committee, selected Deloitte LLP as its independent auditor for fiscal 2025.
多伦多,安大略省--(Newsfile Corp. - 2024年12月20日)- 西北医疗物业股权房地产投资信托(TSX: NWH.UN)(下称“REIT”或“西北”)今天宣布,REIT的审计委员会已经完成了2025年审计工作的全面评估过程,REIT的董事会根据审计委员会的建议,选择德勤会计师事务所作为其2025财政年的独立审计师。
Deloitte LLP was selected based on its qualifications and independence. The REIT also expects to realize cost efficiencies as a result of the change, due in part to Deloitte's role as auditor of Vital Healthcare Property Trust ("Vital") (the REIT has a 28.4% interest in Vital, which is listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange and is consolidated by the REIT for financial reporting purposes under IFRS). Northwest extends its gratitude to KPMG LLP for the expertise and insight provided to the REIT over the years.
德勤会计师事务所的选择是基于其资质和独立性。REIT还期待通过这一变更实现成本效益,这在一定程度上是由于德勤作为Vital Healthcare Property Trust(“Vital”)的审计师的角色(REIT在Vital中持有28.4%的权益,Vital在新西兰证券交易所上市,且在财务报告中根据国际财务报告准则进行合并)。西北对KPMG会计师事务所多年来为REIT提供的专业知识和洞察力表示感谢。
KPMG LLP will continue as external auditor through the financial year ending December 31, 2024. Deloitte LLP will commence a transition process with KPMG LLP during the financial year ending December 31, 2024 in order to ensure an orderly transfer. KPMG LLP will resign as Northwest's external auditor, at the REIT's request, effective on the business day following the filing of Northwest's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2024 and its auditor's report thereon, and Deloitte LLP will be appointed as Northwest's external auditor effective on the same date to fill the vacancy and hold office until the 2025 annual unitholder meeting. Northwest intends to propose to unitholders, at its 2025 annual unitholder meeting, that Deloitte LLP be appointed as its external auditor until the end of the next annual unitholder meeting.
KPMG会计师事务所将继续作为外部审计师,直至2024年12月31日结束的财政年度。德勤会计师事务所将在2024年12月31日结束的财政年度内与KPMG会计师事务所开始过渡过程,以确保顺利交接。KPMG会计师事务所将在西北的要求下,辞去西北的外部审计师职务,生效时间为提交西北截至2024年12月31日的审计合并基本报表及其审计报告后的下一个工作日,德勤会计师事务所将于同日被任命为西北的外部审计师,填补空缺并持续担任至2025年年度单元持有人会议。西北计划在其2025年年度单元持有人会议上提议,任命德勤会计师事务所作为其外部审计师,直至下次年度单元持有人会议结束。
