Super Micro Computer shares have tanked about 40 percent in two sessions as its Ernst & Young auditor resigned over corporate governance and internal financial control concerns.

The tech company, which manufactures computers for companies to use as servers for artificial intelligence algorithms, data storage, and websites, disclosed a resignation letter in an Oct. 30 filing. It shared reasons why the accounting firm was “unwilling to be associated” with Super Micro management’s financial statements.
