Crown Crafts dismisses KPMG, hires Grant Thornton as auditor for fiscal 2027

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 other Written later

Crown Crafts' Audit Committee approved dismissing KPMG LLP as independent auditor effective August 27, 2026, and engaging Grant Thornton LLP for the fiscal year ending March 28, 2027, following a competitive proposal process. KPMG's audit reports for fiscal 2025 and 2026 contained no adverse opinion, disclaimer, or qualification, but the filing discloses one reportable event: a material weakness in controls over review and approval of manual journal entries, which the company says was remediated as of March 29, 2026.
