Hard Rock dismisses auditor

Thursday, Jan. 31, 2002 | 11 a.m.

Hard Rock Hotel Inc. of Las Vegas said it dismissed embattled accounting firm Andersen as its auditor Monday and retained Deloitte & Touche LLP in its place, Dow Jones News Service reported.

In a filing Wednesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Hard Rock said the company's management recommended the change in auditing firms, and its board ratified the decision.

Hard Rock Hotel, which owns and operates the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, retained Andersen in April 2001.

The company's SEC filing gave no reason for the change in auditing firms.

Andersen has come under increased scrutiny in recent weeks for its role in accounting irregularities that may have contributed to the collapse of energy trader Enron, with major companies such as Delta Air Lines considering replacing Andersen.
