ITEM 4. CHANGES IN OFFICE OF REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
KPMG Polska Sp. z o.o. was previously the principal accountants for Euronet
Worldwide, Inc. and subsidiaries. On November 12, 2003, that firm's appointment
as principal accountants was terminated and KPMG LLP was engaged as principal
accountants. The decision to change accountants was approved by the board of
directors at the recommendation of the audit committee.
In connection with the audits of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2002,
there were no disagreements with KPMG Polska Sp. z o.o. on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction
would have caused them to make reference thereto in connection with their
opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement.
The audit reports of KPMG Polska Sp. z o.o. on the consolidated financial
statements of Euronet Worldwide, Inc. and subsidiaries as of and for the years
ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 did not contain any adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope, or accounting principles.
The Company provided KPMG Polska Sp. z o.o. with a copy of the foregoing
disclosures and has requested that KPMG Polska Sp. z o.o. provide a letter
stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the registrant in response
to this Item 4. Attached as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of KPMG Polska Sp. z o.o.'s
letter, dated November 12, 2003, stating its agreement with such statements.
During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 and through November 12, 2003,
the Company, in the ordinary course of business, consulted with KPMG LLP on
various matters related to our operations in the United States and with respect
to certain transactions. These consultations were made in the context of KPMG
LLP assisting KPMG Polska Sp. z o.o. in the execution of their work as the
Company's auditors and were coordinated by KPMG Polska Sp. z o.o. There were no
consultations regarding the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the
Company's consolidated financial statements, or any other matters, disagreements
or reportable events as set forth in Items 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
