Pacific Coast Oil Trust Changes Independent Auditor to Weaver

What Happened Pacific Coast Oil Trust announced in an 8-K filed March 17, 2026 that it engaged Weaver and Tidwell, L.L.P. (“Weaver”) as its independent registered public accounting firm effective March 16, 2026. The filing notes that Pannell Kerr Forster of Texas, P.C. (“PKF”) previously resigned as the Trust’s auditor on July 11, 2025.

Key Details

  • PKF (Pannell Kerr Forster of Texas, P.C.) resigned as the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm on July 11, 2025.
  • Weaver and Tidwell, L.L.P. was engaged as the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm effective March 16, 2026.
  • During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025, and the interim period through March 16, 2026, neither the Trust nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted Weaver on the matters listed in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S‑K.

Why It Matters A change in independent auditor is material corporate governance information that investors track because it can reflect routine rotation, auditor availability, or other accounting- or control-related considerations. In this filing, the Trust discloses the auditor transition dates and explicitly states there were no reportable consultations with the newly engaged firm for the specified periods, which provides a factual baseline for investors monitoring accounting oversight.
