Summary
JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) filed a Form 8-K on April 18, 2017, primarily to provide a revised consent from their independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC). This filing is largely administrative and ensures the proper incorporation by reference of PwC's audit report from the 2016 Form 10-K into certain registration statements. Crucially, the company states that this revised consent corrects a typographical error and does not alter any previously reported financial results or other disclosures from the 2016 Form 10-K. Investors should understand that this 8-K filing does not introduce new financial information or significant business developments, but rather addresses a technical correction related to an existing filing.
