Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On July 26, 2023, ARC Document Solution, Inc. (the "Company") was informed by Armanino LLP ("Armanino"), the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, of Armanino's decision to resign and not to stand for re-appointment as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. Armanino informed the Company that its decision to resign and not to stand for re-appointment was due to Armanino's transition away from providing financial statement audit services to public companies.
Armanino is not required to, and did not, seek the Company's consent to its decision not to stand for re-appointment as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.  As a result, neither the Company's Board of Directors, nor the Audit Committee, took part in Armanino's decision.
Armanino is continuing its engagement with the Company in connection with the quarterly period ended June 30, 2023, and the quarterly period ending September 30, 2023, if requested to do so by the Company. In light of Armanino's decision, 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 registered public accounting firm.
Armanino has served as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm since March 2020
, and has audited the Company's financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022. Armanino's audit reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were the reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, and during the subsequent interim period through July 27, 2023, there have been (a) no disagreements with Armanino on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Armanino's satisfaction, would have caused Armanino to make reference to the subject matter thereof in connection with its reports for such periods, and (b) no "reportable events" (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Company has provided Armanino with a copy of the above statements and has requested that Armanino furnish it with a letter addressed to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated July 27, 2023, is attached as Exhibit 16 to this report.
