WhiteHorse Finance, Inc. has changed its independent registered public accounting firm from Crowe LLP to Deloitte & Touche LLP. This is a notable event as auditor changes can sometimes signal underlying financial issues. However, the company explicitly stated that there were no disagreements on accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope, nor were there any 'reportable events' with Crowe LLP. The transition appears to be a routine change, possibly due to evolving 'affiliated fund relationships' as mentioned in the filing.
