Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

(a) On December 6, 2007, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Audit Committee") of Woodward Governor Company (the "Company") recommended and approved the dismissal of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

The reports of PwC on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and through December 6, 2007, there were no disagreements with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K), if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused PwC to make reference thereto in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and through December 6, 2007, there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company has provided PwC with a copy of the above disclosures and has requested that PwC furnish a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made by the Company and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. The letter from PwC is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

(b) On December 6, 2007, the Audit Committee appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte") as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and through December 6, 2007, there were no consultations with Deloitte on any matters described in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and Item 304(a)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
