CGI
to recommend the appointment of Ernst & Young as new auditor
Montreal, Quebec, October 30,
2009 – CGI Group Inc. (TSX: GIB.A; NYSE: GIB), a leading
provider of information technology and business process services, today
announced that its Board of Directors will recommend to its shareholders the
appointment of Ernst & Young to serve as the Company's auditor for the
fiscal year started October 1, 2009. This recommendation follows a
comprehensive selection process overseen by the Company’s Audit and Risk
Management Committee. If the recommendation is accepted,
Ernst & Young will replace the
Company's current auditor, Deloitte & Touche
LLP. Deloitte will complete its mandate for the delivery of the
audited opinion on the financial statements for the fiscal year ended September
30, 2009.
“CGI
has always been satisfied with the quality of the service provided by Deloitte,”
said David Anderson, Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer,
CGI. “We have made the decision to recommend the appointment of a new
auditor subsequent to Deloitte's acquisition of a competitor’s US federal
government business. Our business units, which provide a wide range of IT
services to federal government agencies, state and local governments and to
commercial enterprises, are now competing directly with Deloitte.”
