Item 4.01 Change in Registrants Certifying Accountant.
(a) Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On May 7, 2007, the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the Audit
Committee) of TeleTech Holdings, Inc. (the Company) was notified by Ernst & Young LLP (Ernst &
Young) that it is declining to stand for re-election as the Companys independent registered
public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2007. Ernst & Young will perform the
procedures specified by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) for a review
of the interim financial information as described in AU 722, Interim Financial Information on the
unaudited consolidated financial statements included in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Ernst & Young completed its review on May 9, 2007.
During the
two years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and for the
period through May 9, 2007, there were no disagreements between the Company and Ernst & Young on
any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope
or procedure that, if not resolved to Ernst & Youngs satisfaction, would have caused it to make
reference to the matter in connection with its report on the Companys consolidated financial
statements for the relevant year.
Ernst & Youngs audit reports on the Companys consolidated financial statements for the fiscal
years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 did not contain an adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principles. Ernst & Youngs report on the December 31, 2006 financial statements
included a reference to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R)
effective January 1, 2006.
The Company has furnished a copy of the above disclosures to Ernst & Young and Ernst
& Young provided a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it
agrees with the statements made above. A copy of such letter from Ernst & Young is filed as
Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
(b) New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On May 7, 2007, the Audit Committee after reviewing
competitive proposals from several independent registered public accounting firms during the first
quarter of 2007 as a part of its periodic review and corporate governance practices, determined to
engage PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) as the Companys independent registered public accounting
firm beginning May 9, 2007.
During the
two years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the quarter ended March 31,
2007 and the period through May 9, 2007, neither the Company, nor anyone on
its behalf, consulted with PwC with respect to either (i) the application of accounting principles to a
specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be
rendered on the Companys consolidated financial statements, and no written report or oral advice
was provided by PwC to the Company that PwC concluded was an important factor considered by the
Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue or (ii)
any matter that was the subject of either a disagreement as defined in Item 3.04 (a)(1)(iv) of
Regulation S-K or a reportable event as described in Item 3.04(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
