Why this matters
Changing external auditors is a significant governance decision for a publicly listed company, and shareholders have the final say. Ebusco's investors will decide at the 9 October meeting whether to withdraw EY's engagement for 2026 and appoint CFA for 2026 and 2027, following a market assessment by the company. This affects how the company's financial statements are independently audited over the next two years.
