Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
(b) New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Effective July 1, 2005, the Audit Committee of Chordiant Software, Inc.
("Chordiant") engaged BDO Seidman, LLP ("BDO Seidman") as Chordiant's new
independent registered public accounting firm.
During Chordiant's two most recently completed fiscal years, which ended
December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2004, and through the subsequent interim
period, neither Chordiant nor anyone on its behalf consulted BD Seidman
regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified
transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that
might be rendered on Chordiant's financial statements, nor has BDO Seidman
provided to Chordiant a written report or oral advice regarding such principles
or audit opinion; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a
disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related
instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a) (1)(v)
of Regulation S-K).
Chordiant requested that BDO Seidman review this filing and provided BDO Seidman
with the opportunity to furnish Chordiant with a letter addressed to the SEC
containing any new information, clarification of Chordiant's expression of its
views, or the respects in which it does not agree with the statements made by
Chordiant in this filing. BDO Seidman has advised Chordiant that it has reviewed
this filing and has no basis on which to submit a letter addressed to the SEC in
response to Item 304 of Regulation S-K.
This amendment is being filed to report that the Company has authorized
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC"), its former independent registered pubic
accounting firm, to respond fully to the inquiries of BDO Seidman, LLP,
Chordiant's current registered public accounting firm, concerning the subject
matter of each reportable event disclosed in accordance with Item 304(a)(1)(v)
of Regulation S-K in its current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on May 25, 2005.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
