Cronos Group auditor KPMG exits; will not seek re-appointment for 2024 audit
Cronos Group Inc.
- KPMG notified Cronos it will not stand for re-appointment for 2024 audit due to KPMG's decision to cease auditing cannabis companies.
- KPMG issued unqualified opinions on financials for 2023 and 2022, but an adverse opinion on internal controls for 2022 (material weakness).
- No disagreements between company and KPMG; company will promptly initiate search for a new auditor.
- KPMG will continue to review Q1 and Q2 2024 quarterly results until replaced.
