ITEM 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On April 5, 2021, the Board of Directors of TraQiQ, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the dismissal of AJSH & Co LLP (“AJSH”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
The reports of AJSH on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 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 fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, there have been no “disagreements” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and related instructions) with AJSH 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 AJSH would have caused AJSH to make reference thereto in its reports on the consolidated financial statements for such years. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, there have been no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
(b) Newly Engaged Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On April 5, 2021, the Board approved the appointment of T R Chadha & Co LLP (“TRC”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately, to perform independent audit services for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020 neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted TRC 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 with respect to the consolidated financial statements of the Company, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by TRC that 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 the subject of a “disagreement” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a “reportable event” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
