ITEM 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a) Release of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On August 25, 2023, our board of directors resolved to release Fortune CPA, Inc. (“Fortune”) as our independent accountants. We informed Fortune of this determination on August 25, 2023, which was effective August 28, 2023.
Fortune was engaged by us on February 10, 2023. Since their engagement on February 10, 2023 and through the date of this form 8-K, Fortune has neither provided any adverse opinion or qualifications on our financial statements nor had a disagreement with the Company on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements that, if not resolved to Fortune’s satisfaction, would have caused Fortune to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with the audit of the Company’s financial statements.
None of the reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v)(A)-(D) of Regulation S-K occurred within period of the engagement of Fortune up to the date of release.
We have provided Fortune with a copy of this report prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Fortune has provided a letter to us, dated September 13, 2023 and addressed to the SEC, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1 and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
(b) New independent registered public accounting firm
We have engaged Olayinka Oyebola & Co. (“Olayinka”) as our independent registered public accounting firm, effective August 28, 2023. The decision to engage Olayinka as our independent registered public accounting firm was approved by our board of directors.
During the two most recent fiscal years and through the date of this report, we have not consulted with Olayinka regarding any of the following:
| 1. | the application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements; |
| 2. | the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements by Olayinka, in either case where written or oral advice provided by Olayinka would be an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues; or |
| 3. | any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K). |
