RANGE APPOINTS AUDITORS FOR 2003

 

 

FORT WORTH, TEXAS, MARCH 26, 2003…RANGE RESOURCES CORPORATION (NYSE: RRC) today announced that it has appointed auditors for 2003. 

 

After evaluation of the Company’s audit requirements, the Audit Committee engaged Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent auditors to replace KPMG LLP.  As a result, both Range and its 50% owned Appalachian joint venture, Great Lakes Energy Partners, LLC, will have their financial statements audited by the same independent public accounting firm.

 

The change in auditors was not the result of any disagreement on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.

 

RANGE RESOURCES CORPORATION is an independent oil and gas company operating in the Permian, Midcontinent, Gulf Coast and Appalachian regions of the United States.
