ITEM 4.01(A) - CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
On January 26, 2024, the Board of Directors received notice from BF Borgers CPA, PC (“Borgers”), the independent registered public accounting firm of Bergio International, Inc. (the “Company”), that they were resigning as the Company’s registered accounting firm effective immediately, following the appointment by the Company of Olayinka Oyebola & Co., effective January 24, 2024 as its new registered accounting firm.
The reports of Borgers on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2020, and 2021, and through July 15, 2022, there were no disagreements, within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Regulation S-K”) and related instructions thereto between the Company and Borgers 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 Borgers, would have caused Borgers to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its audit reports on the Company’s financial statements. During the Company’s past fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, and the interim period through September 30, 2023, Borgers did not advise the Company of any of the matters specified in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Borgers with the disclosures under this Item 4.01 prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and requested that Borgers furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements and, if it does not agree, the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter from Borgers is filed as Exhibit hereto.
ITEM 4.01(B) - APPOINTMENT OF A NEW INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT
On January 24, 2024, the Company engaged Olayinka Oyebola & Co (“Olayinka”) as its independent accounting firm to provide its report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, effective immediately.
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and during the subsequent interim periods through October 31, 2023, neither the Company nor anyone acting on behalf of the Company had consulted Olayinka regarding either: (i) 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, nor did Olayinka provide a written report or oral advice to the Company that Olayinka concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
