Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

On October 1, 2003, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of H.B. Fuller
Company, after a comprehensive review of proposals for audit services from
several public accountants, determined to engage KPMG LLP as principal
accountant of the Company for the fiscal year commencing November 30, 2003 and
ending November 27, 2004. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the current independent
accountant, has been dismissed by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors
of H.B. Fuller Company as of October 1, 2003 but has been retained to issue an
audit report on the Company's financial statements as of and for the fiscal year
ending November 29, 2003. The Audit Committee has a policy of periodically
reviewing the proposed scope and fees of a number of alternative auditing firms
qualified to perform the Company's audit and considering the appropriateness of
either retaining the incumbent auditor or engaging another firm.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has served the Company as principal accountant since
1988.

Other than a modification related to the adoption by the Company of a new
accounting standard described in the last sentence of this paragraph, the
reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the Company's consolidated financial
statements, as of and for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2002 and December
1, 2001, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were
such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principle. As described in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the
Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."

In connection with its audits of the Company's consolidated financial statements
for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2002 and December 1, 2001 and through
October 1, 2003, there were no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on
any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure
or auditing scope or procedure which disagreements if not resolved to the
satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP would have caused them to make
reference thereto in their report on the Company's consolidated financial
statements as of and for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2002 and December
1, 2001.

During the fiscal years ended November 30, 2002 and December 1, 2001 and through
October 1, 2003, there have been no reportable events (as defined in Regulation
S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)).

The Company provided PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP a copy of this Form 8-K prior to
its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP has provided the Company with a letter dated October 8, 2003, addressed to
the Commission, stating whether or not it is in agreement with the statements
contained herein. A copy of such letter is filed as Exhibit 16 hereto.

During the two most recent completed fiscal years ended December 1, 2001 and
November 30, 2002 and the subsequent interim period through the date of this
report, 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.
