Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
(a) Dismissal of Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On April 19, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) of Powerbridge Technologies Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) notified BF Borgers CPA PC (“BFB”) of its decision to dismiss BFB as the registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately. The Company engaged BFB during the period from October 2, 2020 to April 19, 2021 (the “Engagement Period”). During the Engagement Period, BFB did not issue an audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
During the two most recent fiscal years and through the subsequent interim period preceding the dismissal of BFB, there were no (i) “disagreements” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) between the Company and BFB on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BFB would have caused BFB to make reference to the subject matter thereof in its reports for such fiscal years and interim period, or (ii) “reportable events” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
We furnished a copy of this disclosure to BFB and have requested that BFB furnished us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) stating whether such firm agrees with the above statements or, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. We have received the requested letter from BFB, and a copy of the letter is filed with this Current Report on Form 6-K as Exhibit 99.1.
(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On April 19, 2021, upon the Audit Committee approval, the Company engaged Onestop Assurance PAC (“Onestop”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020.
During the two most recent fiscal years and through the subsequent interim period preceding Onestop’s engagement, the Company has not consulted with Onestop regarding (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, and neither a written report was provided to the Company nor oral advice was provided that Onestop 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 to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
