ITEM 4. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

Arthur Andersen LLP (Andersen) was previously the principal accountants for the Company. On March 14, 2002 that firm’s appointment as principal accountants was terminated and KPMG LLP (KPMG) was engaged as principal accountants. The decision to change accountants was approved by the audit committee and the board of directors. The appointment of KPMG, will be presented to the stockholders for ratification at the Company’s 2002 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

In connection with the audits of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2001, and subsequent interim period through March 14, 2002, there were no disagreements with Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement, and there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The audit reports of Andersen on the consolidated financial statements of Documentum, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. The Company provided Andersen with a copy of the foregoing disclosures. A letter from Andersen stating its agreement with such statements is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Report.

During the year ended December 31, 2001, and the subsequent interim period through March 14, 2002, the Company did not consult with KPMG LLP regarding the application of generally accepted accounting principles to a specific transaction, either proposed or completed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events as set forth in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
