Analysis · BCBP · Finance
Effective September 2, 2026, BCB Bancorp dismissed its long-time auditor Wolf & Company and brought in Deloitte & Touche. The filing indicates no disagreements or reportable events with Wolf, and Wolf's prior audit opinions were clean. Still, an auditor change at a bank that just posted a $14.8 million quarterly loss, fully impaired goodwill, suspended dividends, and is undergoing a comprehensive credit review raises governance questions. The switch to a Big Four firm may signal a need for stronger audit scrutiny ahead of the credit review completion targeted for Q3 2026.
