MARKET RELEASE
23 March 2020
Spark recommends new external auditor
Following a formal request for proposal process for external audit services, the Spark
Board has recommended Deloitte be appointed as its new external auditor.
While Spark has been extremely satisfied with KPMG’s external audit services since 1
July 2002, given this duration of service the Board believes that now is the
appropriate time to rotate external auditors. KPMG’s current audit engagement will
conclude at the completion of the FY20 financial statements.
Deloitte’s appointment is for the financial year ending 30 June 2021 and is subject to
approval by shareholders at Spark’s Annual General Meeting to be held on 6
November 2020.
