Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a) Effective April 27, 2007, Christopher, Smith, Leonard, Bristow & Stanell, P.A. (“CS&L”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm engaged to audit the financial statements of Carbiz Inc. (the “Company”).
CS&L performed the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2007 and 2006. During this period and the subsequent interim period prior to CS&L’s resignation, there were no disagreements with CS&L on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to CS&L’s satisfaction would have caused CS&L to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with CS&L’s report.
The audit reports of CS&L for the Company’s fiscal years ended January 31, 2007 and 2006 did not contain an adverse opinion, or a disclaimer of opinion, or qualification or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
The Company has provided CS&L with a copy of the disclosures contained in this Item 4.01, and the Company has requested CS&L to furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) stating whether it agrees with the statements made above by the Company. A copy of the letter from CS&L addressed to the Commission dated as of May 3, 2007 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
(b) Effective May 3, 2007, the Company engaged Aidman, Piser & Company (“AP”) as its new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2008. The Company did not consult with AP on any matters set forth with Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-B prior to retaining such firm as its new independent registered public accounting firm.
