Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

(a)Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

 

The Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Where Food Comes From, Inc. (the “Company”) recently completed a competitive process to determine what audit firm would serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2019. On December 5, 2019 the Committee determined to dismiss Crowe, LLP (“Crowe”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective immediately.

 

The reports of Crowe on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 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 year ended December 31, 2018 and the subsequent period January 1 through December 5, 2019, there were no disagreements with Crowe on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Crowe’s satisfaction, would have caused Crowe to make reference to the subject matter thereof in connection with its report for such year; or reportable events, as described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K except for the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that were reported in the annual report form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

The Company provided Crowe with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested from Crowe a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission indicating whether is agrees with such disclosures. A copy of Crowe’s letter dated December 9, 2019 is attached as Exhibit 16.1.

 

(b)Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

 

Contemporaneous with the determination to dismiss Crowe, the Committee engaged Causey Demgen & Moore P.C. (“Causey”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company believes appointing Causey as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm will be more cost effective without sacrificing any quality and will also support local business. The audit fees and audit related fee expenses increased approximately 88% from 2017 to 2018, when Crowe was appointed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2018 and the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2019 through December 5, 2019, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted Causey 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, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Causey 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 of the matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” or a “reportable event”, each as defined in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K, respectively.
