On November 20, 1996, the board of directors of Veritas DGC Inc. (the "Company") determined to replace Deloitte & Touche LLP ("D&T") as its principal accountant with Price Waterhouse LLP ("PW"). PW was the principal independent accountant for Veritas Energy Services Inc. ("VES"), which was combined into the Company on August 30, 1996. The report of D&T on the Company's financial statements for the last two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was such opinion qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and subsequent interim periods preceding the replacement of D&T, the Company had no disagreements with D&T on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and subsequent interim periods preceding the retention of PW, neither the Company nor anyone on the Company's behalf, consulted PW regarding any matter. The Company has provided D&T a copy of the disclosures made under this Item 4 of this Report, and D&T has furnished the Company with a letter addressed to the Commission stating that it agrees with the statement made by the Company in response to this Item. Such letter is filed as an exhibit to this Report. ITEM 7.
