Item 4.    Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

On June 10, 2003, the Administrative Committee (the “Committee”) of the SEI Investments Capital Accumulation Plan, a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Plan”), determined to no longer engage KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as the Plan’s independent public accountants and engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) to serve as the Plan’s independent public accountants for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.

 

KPMG’s report on the Plan’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 and through the filing date of this current report on Form 8-K, there were no disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to KPMG’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their report on the Plan’s consolidated financial statements for such year; and there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Plan provided KPMG with a copy of the foregoing disclosures. Attached as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of KPMG’s letter, dated June 11, 2003, stating that it has found no basis for disagreement with such statements.

 

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 and through the filing date of this current report on Form 8-K, the Plan did not consult PwC with respect to 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 Plan’s consolidated financial statements, or any other matters or “reportable events,” in each case in the manner contemplated by Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We were previously principal accountants for the SEI Investments Capital Accumulation Plan (the Plan) and, under the date of June 21, 2002, we reported on the financial statements of the Plan as of and for the year ended December 31, 2001. On June 10, 2003, our appointment as principal accountants was terminated. We have read the Plan’s statements included under Item 4 of its Form 8-K dated June 13, 2003, and we agree with such statements, except that we are not in a position to agree or disagree with the Plan’s statement that the Administrative Committee engaged PWC to serve as its independent public accountant and the Plan’s statement that the Plan did not consult with PWC with respect to 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 Plan’s consolidated financial statements, or any other matters or “reportable events,” in each case in the manner contemplated by Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

 

Very truly yours,

 

KPMG LLP
