What is the primary reason for this amended 10-Q filing?

The primary reason for this amendment is to include disclosures required by SFAS No. 142 regarding Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which were omitted in the original filing. It also confirms the review of the financial statements by a newly engaged independent accounting firm.

Why was there a change in CBRE's independent accounting firm?

CBRE engaged a new independent accounting firm other than Arthur Andersen LLP. This action aligns with the SEC's temporary rules that allowed companies previously audited by Arthur Andersen to file reports without an immediate review, but required engagement of a new firm for subsequent reviews.

What does SFAS No. 142 relate to?

SFAS No. 142, 'Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,' requires companies to report on how they account for goodwill and other intangible assets, including disclosures about impairment testing and amortization policies.
