Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
a) Deloitte & Touche LLP was previously the principal accountants for
FirstFederal Financial Services Corp (the "Company"). On August 20,
1996, that firm's appointment as principal accountants was terminated by
the Company. The decision to change accountants was approved by the
audit committee of the board of directors.
In connection with the audits of the two fiscal years ended December 31,
1995 and the subsequent interim period through August 20, 1996, there
were no disagreements with 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
their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference to the
subject matters of the disagreements in connection with their opinion.
The audit reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP on the consolidated financial
statements of the Company and subsidiaries as of and for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994, did not contain any adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
The Company requested that Deloitte & Touche LLP furnish the Company
with a letter, as promptly as possible, addressed to the Securities and
Exchange Commission, stating whether it agrees with the statements made
in this Item 4, and if not, stating the respects in which they do not
agree. A copy of such letter, dated September 3, 1996, which the
Company received on September 5, 1996, is filed as Exhibit 16 to this
Form 8-K/A.
b) On August 20, 1996, the Company engaged KPMG Peat Marwick LLP as the
Company's principal accountants.
