Item 4.01Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
On July 1, 2013 (the “Resignation Date”), EFP Rotenberg, LLP (“EFP”) resigned as the principal independent registered public accountant of Sorl Auto Parts, Inc. (the “Company”).
The report of EFP on the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 did not contain adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 and the subsequent interim period through July 1, 2013, there were no disagreements between the Company and EFP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to EFP’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 and the subsequent interim period through July 1, 2013, there were no "reportable events" as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company requested that EFP review the disclosures contained herein and asked EFP to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements the Company made in this Current Report and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of EFP’s letter dated July 1, 2013 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
