It is important for a prospective franchisee to note the auditor of a franchise, as it provides an independent opinion on the financial health and reporting practices of the franchisor. Changes in auditors can sometimes signal changes in accounting practices or financial scrutiny, though in this case, it appears to be a routine change. A potential franchisee may want to inquire about the reason for the change in auditing firms and ensure that the financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
