How we checked this
Checked on October 12, 2026. The cited source supports every part of this claim.
The proxy says the board approved the appointment of GHP Horwath for fiscal 2011 and was asking shareholders to ratify it. One passage gives the year end as December 30, 2011, but the other references say December 31, 2011.
Confirmed in the source:
- AspenBio Pharma's Board of Directors appointed GHP Horwath, P.C. as its independent registered public accounting firm, approving the Audit Committee's recommendation on July 15, 2010
- The appointment covers the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011
