Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
On August 9, 2013 the Board of Directors of Nevada Gold Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed Sam Kan & Company (“Sam Kan”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective immediately.
The reports of Sam Kan on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the Company’s audited financial statements contained in its Form 10K for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, included a going concern qualification.
During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and through August 9, 2013, there were no (a) disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) with Sam Kan on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Sam Kan’s satisfaction, would have caused Sam Kan to make reference to the subject matter thereof in connection with its reports for such years; or (b) reportable events, as described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Sam Kan with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested from Sam Kan a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission indicating whether it agrees with such disclosures. A copy of Sam Kan’s letter dated August 12, 2013 is filed herewith as Exhibit 16.1.
Contemporaneous with the determination to dismiss Sam Kan, the Audit Committee engaged KLJ & Associates, LLP (“KLJ”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2013, also to be effective immediately and include the review of the Company’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013.
During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and through August 9, 2013, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has previously consulted with KLJ regarding either (a) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report was provided nor oral advice was provided to the Company that KLJ concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (b) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph 304(a)(1)(v)) of Regulation S-K).
