Canopy Growth replaces PKF O'Connor Davies with MNP as auditor after material weakness

Negative Impact 4 of 5 other Written later

Canopy Growth's auditor, PKF O'Connor Davies, resigned effective August 7, 2026, citing a strategic change in its desire to serve the cannabis sector. MNP LLP was engaged the same day as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. The filing also discloses an adverse internal control opinion and prior restatements, which bear on shareholders' confidence in the company's financial reporting.

Key points
