Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On May 28, 2002, the Benefits Policy Committee of Cummins Inc. (the "Company") elected to dismiss Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") as the Company's independent public accountants for the Cummins Engine Company, Inc. and Affiliates Retirement and Savings Plans ("the plans") and engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as independent public accountants for the plans fiscal year 2001.
The plans' Annual Report on Form 11-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 was filed on June 15, 2001. It included Anderson's report on the net assets available for benefits of the Plans as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the changes in the net assets available for benefits for the years ended December 2000 and 1999. Andersen's report did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the interim period through May 28, 2002, there were no disagreements with Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure. During this period there were also no disagreements, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Andersen, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter in its report on the consolidated financial statements for such years. During the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 and through the interim period May 28, 2002, there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304 (a) (1) (v) of Regulation S-K as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Due to the termination of employment of the entire Andersen audit team with respect to the Plan, the Company was unable to provide the foregoing disclosures to Andersen and, therefore, was unable to obtain a letter from Andersen stating their agreement with such disclosures.
During the years ended December 31, 2000, and 1999, and the interim period through May 28, 2002, the Company did not consult with Deloitte Touche LLP regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's consolidated financial statements, or any other matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as described above) or as a reportable event.
