Item
4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a) Resignation of
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
On
February 29, 2024, WWC, P.C. Certified Public Accountants (“WWC”) resigned as independent registered public accounting firm
of IT Tech Packaging, Inc. (the “Company”), effective immediately.
WWC’s
reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 did not contain
an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During
the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the subsequent interim period through February 29, 2024, there
were no disagreements with WWC 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 WWC, would have caused WWC to make reference to the subject
matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such years. Also
during this time, there were no “reportable events,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The
Company provided WWC with a copy of the above disclosures and requested that WWC furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities
and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made above. A copy of WWC’s letter dated February 29,
2024 is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
(b) Appointment of
New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
On March
1, 2024, the Company engaged GGF CPA LIMITED (“GGF”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm
for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, effective immediately. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and through
March 1, 2024, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with GGF regarding (i) the application of accounting principles
to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that GGF concluded was an
important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any 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, or a “reportable
event,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
Item 9.01. Financial
