Item 4. Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
------ --------------------------------------------
As reported in Registrant's From 8-K dated July 19, 1995, NBD Bancorp, Inc.
(NBD) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of July 11, 1995
with First Chicago Corporation (FCC) whereby NBD and FCC would combine in a
"Merger of Equals." It has been recognized during the transition that
certain efficiencies and cost savings may be gained from the immediate
selection of the independent accountant who will be responsible for the
audit of the financial statements of the combined companies. To effectuate
these results, on September 18, 1995, the Board of Directors of NBD
authorized the Registrant to change its certified public accountants from
Deloitte & Touche LLP to Arthur Andersen LLP, which currently serves as the
independent public accountants for FCC. The change was effective
immediately; Arthur Andersen LLP will audit the Registrant's consolidated
financial statements for the year ending December 31, 1995.
The Deloitte & Touche LLP audit report on the consolidated financial statements
of NBD for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994, respectively, did not
contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor were they qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the
two fiscal years ended December 31, 1994 and the interim period preceding the
change of independent accounts, there were no disagreements between the
Registrant and Deloitte & Touche LLP on any matter of accounting principles
or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures,
which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche
LLP, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement in connection with its report. Nor did Deloitte & Touche LLP
advise the Registrant of any reportable events during the aforementioned
time periods.
