Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
On August 8, 2022, Ames National Corporation (the “Company”) was informed by CliftonLarsonAllen LLP (“CLA”), the Company’s current independent public accountant, that CLA would decline to stand for re-appointment after completion of the audit report for the year ended December 31, 2022 as a result of CLA’s determination to cease providing certain audit services upon completion of the 2022 audit cycle. In light of CLA’s determination, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors has initiated a process to select a new accounting firm to serve as the Company’s independent public
accountant commencing with the 2023 audit cycle.
CLA’s audit reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, and during the subsequent interim period through August 8, 2022, there were no (a) disagreements with CLA on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to CLA's satisfaction, would have caused CLA to make reference to the subject matter thereof in connection with its reports for such periods; or (b) reportable events, as described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
In accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation SK, the Company provided CLA with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested from CLA a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission indicating whether it agrees with such disclosures. A copy of CLA's letter dated August 12, 2022 is attached as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.
