RIVERVIEW BANCORP INC 8-K

What Happened
Riverview Bancorp, Inc. announced that Delap LLP merged with Aprio, LLP effective January 1, 2026. As a result of that merger Delap resigned as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm and the Audit Committee approved Aprio as Delap’s successor. Delap’s audit reports on Riverview’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 were unmodified (no adverse opinion or disclaimer), and Delap reported no disagreements or reportable events for those periods or the interim period through the merger. The company also disclosed that it did not consult Aprio on prior accounting or audit matters before the merger. Delap’s confirmation letter to the SEC (dated January 7, 2026) is filed as an exhibit.

Why It Matters
This 8-K documents a routine auditor succession driven by an accounting firm merger, not by any dispute over Riverview’s financial statements. For investors, the key takeaways are continuity and no prior audit qualifications or disagreements noted for the recent fiscal years. Investors may watch future filings for any changes in audit scope or disclosures under Aprio, but the company’s filing indicates no immediate accounting or audit-related red flags.
