Section 4 – Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements

 

Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

To comply voluntarily to the restrictions of Section 201 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which discourages the use of the same firm for both external audit and internal audit functions, MVB Financial Corp. (MVB) made a change in accounting firms for its external audit in 2004. The firm of Brown Edwards & Company, L.L.P. has been engaged to conduct MVB’s external audit for December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006. This change in accountants was solely to comply with Section 201 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and in no way indicates any disagreements between MVB and Conley CPA Group, PLLC, the former external auditor.
