SCM Swisscom AG: Form 6-K
Change of Auditor
Based on a tender conducted earlier this year, the Board of Directors of Swisscom AG (Swisscom) is proposing to the Annual General Meeting to be held on April 27, 2004 that KPMG Klynveld Peat Marwick Goerdeler SA (KPMG) be appointed as new statutory and Group auditors. In connection with this proposal, the Board of Directors decided to appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers AG (PwC) as Swisscoms new internal auditors, effective with the appointment of KPMG as new statutory and Group auditors. PwC has been Swisscoms statutory and Group auditors for up to fiscal year 2003 and its activities in 2004 have been limited to the audit of Swisscoms consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003. Up to the end of 2003, KPMG had been Swisscoms internal auditors.
PwCs audit reports on Swisscoms consolidated financial statements for each of the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the past two years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, there have been no disagreements with PwC on any matter of accounting principle or practice, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.
