Executive Summary
Interparfums dismissed its auditor Forvis Mazars, LLP and appointed Grant Thornton, LLP as its new independent registered public accounting firm, effective May 8, 2026. The change was not due to any disagreements on accounting principles or practices, but the company had previously disclosed material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting for fiscal years 2024 and 2025.
