Analysis · AAUC · Energy & Transportation
An auditor resignation is always a governance red flag, and this one warrants close attention: KPMG stepped down on August 6, 2026, and declined to conduct the fiscal 2026 audit. Deloitte was brought in on August 14. While the company reports no modified opinions or reportable events for the prior two fiscal years, the outgoing firm's refusal to complete the upcoming audit raises questions. The timing adds weight—this comes just days after Allied Gold closed a C$416.6 million strategic investment from Zijin Gold.
