Item 8.01 Other Events.

In April 2023, Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”), the independent auditor of BILL Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), conducted a routine internal audit quality review of the audit of the Company’s fiscal year 2022 consolidated financial statements, filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K on August 22, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”). Subsequent to that review, in May 2023, while there was no impact to our financial statements, management and EY determined that control deficiencies nevertheless existed due to insufficient documentation and evidence retained for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance purposes, and therefore, necessary to conclude on their effectiveness under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Solely as a result of these deficiencies, on May 15, 2023, the Company concluded that it had a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to information systems and applications within the quote-to-cash process as of June 30, 2022.

The material weakness does not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in the 2022 Form 10-K or in the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022 (together with the 2022 Form 10-K, “the Prior Reports”). The Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Prior Reports continue to present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of the applicable dates and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the applicable periods, and are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. EY’s opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the 2022 Form 10-K remains unchanged.

The Company intends to (1) file an amendment to the 2022 Form 10-K to appropriately revise Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and include EY’s revised report thereon and (2) to amend each of its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022 to appropriately revise the disclosures regarding its disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, both management’s assessment and Ernst & Young’s report on internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022, should no longer be relied upon and the Company’s management has determined that, in light of the material weakness, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022, December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2023.
