The Munich-based technology company Cherry SE has appointed KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft as its new statutory auditor for the 2025 financial year audits, following a court decision that granted the Supervisory Board's request. This appointment comes after the previous auditor, RSM Ebner Stolz AG, declined to accept the audit engagement, as announced in an ad hoc release in November 2025. The court's timely ruling allows Cherry SE to maintain the required audit continuity for its annual financial statements and consolidated financial statements.
Jurjen Jongma, CFO of Cherry SE, stated that the company welcomes the court's decision and emphasized the reputation and expertise KPMG brings to the role. "We are convinced that this appointment provides a robust and future-proof foundation for the audit of our financial statements," Jongma said. The appointment of a major auditing firm like KPMG is seen as a move to strengthen financial governance and support the company's development in both its computer input device and digital healthcare business segments.
James Burns, Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board and Chairman of the Audit Committee, highlighted the board's prompt action to ensure audit continuity. "The appointment of KPMG is an important step in supporting the Audit Committee in its review of the financial reporting and other monitoring tasks to ensure the proper financial reporting of Cherry SE," Burns added. This development underscores the importance of reliable financial oversight for publicly traded companies, particularly those with international operations like Cherry SE, which maintains development, production, and sales sites across Germany, China, Austria, France, Sweden, the United States, and Taiwan.
The company, known for manufacturing keyboards, mice, microphones, and headsets for office, gaming, and industrial applications, as well as hardware and software solutions in digital healthcare, must ensure transparent financial reporting to maintain investor confidence. The transition to KPMG as auditor represents a critical administrative step that supports corporate governance and regulatory compliance.
