ITEM 4. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS
On June 3, 1999, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Bank
United Corp. (the "Company") recommended, and the Company's Board of Directors
approved the engagement of the independent certified public accounting firm of
KPMG LLP ("KPMG") to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company
for the year ending September 30, 1999. Accordingly, the engagement of Deloitte
& Touche LLP ("Deloitte") as the Company's independent auditors has been
discontinued.
Deloitte's report on the financial statements for the past two years did
not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified
or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent
interim period preceding such change in accountants, there were no disagreements
with Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to
the satisfaction of Deloitte, would have caused Deloitte to make reference to
the matter in their report.
During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent
interim period preceding such change in accountants, Deloitte did not advise the
Company with respect to any of the matters listed in paragraphs (a) (1) (v) (A)
through (D) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K.
The Company has not consulted with KPMG during the two most recent fiscal
years or any subsequent interim period preceding the engagement of KPMG relating
to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, or the
type of opinion KPMG might render on the Company's financial statements.
The Company has provided Deloitte with a copy of the foregoing disclosures
and has requested in writing that Deloitte furnish it with a letter addressed to
the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not Deloitte agrees
with the above statements. Such letter is attached as Exhibit 16.1.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS
(a) Not applicable.
(b) Not applicable.
(c) Exhibit 16.1 Letter from Deloitte & Touche LLP to the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
