Appointment of KPMG LLP as External Auditor
Following the conclusion of a competitive tender process led by
the Audit Committee, the Board of Croda International Plc ("Croda"
or the "Company") has approved the proposed appointment of KPMG LLP
as external auditor for the financial year commencing 1 January
2018. The appointment is subject to shareholder approval at the
Annual General Meeting to be held in April 2018.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ('PwC'), the Company's current
external auditor, will undertake the audit for the financial year
ending 31 December 2017.
In line with the Statutory Audit Services Order 2014, given that
PwC has been the Group's auditor for more than 20 years, PwC was
not invited to retender for this appointment.
Alan Ferguson, Chairman of Croda's Audit Committee, said:
"On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank PwC for their
service over many years as the Company's Auditor. We look forward
to working with KPMG in the future".
