BDO Seidman replaced as auditors over costs concerns

Written by Penny Sukhraj

BDO Seidman has been replaced as the auditor of golf course investment company Golf Trust of America, by Cherry Bekaert & Holland.

The move follows recommendations from the audit committee, concerned with the costs of maintaining BDO as its auditors.

Golf Trust's shareholders decided to move the company forward as a going concern last November, when the CEO also stepped down.

In a statement, the company maintained it had no disagreement with its auditors, WebCPA.com reported.

Golf Trust CEO Mike Pearce said the company enjoyed a very positive association with BDO over the years.

'However, we believe that Cherry Bekaert offers our shareholders an ideal combination of services and cost-efficiency. We look forward to working with the Cherry Bekaert team well into the future,' he said.
