Analysis · DKNG · Trade & Services
DraftKings dismissed BDO USA as its independent auditor effective after the FY2026 10-K is filed, and appointed Deloitte & Touche for FY2027. The filing states there were no disagreements or reportable events with BDO, and no prior consultations with Deloitte on accounting matters — a clean, planned transition rather than a red-flag resignation. Auditor changes still carry governance weight for a company of DraftKings' size, especially following a Q2 loss and recent debt refinancing, but the absence of disputes tempers the concern.
