On July 18, 2022, the Board of Directors of Sincerity Applied Materials Holdings Corp.(“SINC”) received the formal resignation letter from its independent registered public accounting firm, SW Audit (Formerly ShineWing Australia) effective immediately.
SW Audit is a medium sized firm and are currently facing staff shortages and constraints being experienced in Australia because of the COVID-19 Global Pandemic and consequently are unable continue as SINC’s Statutory Auditor due to their inability to provide any certainty over when they could commence or complete SINC’s Statutory Audit.
SW Audit noted there are no other material reasons for our resignation and confirmed that there were no circumstances connected with their resignation which they considered should be brought to the attention of the members or creditors of the Company and that there has been no disagreement with Management or the Directors.
The reports of SW Audit on the Company’s financial statements for each of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
The Company provided SW Audit with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that SW Audit furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of SW Audit letter dated July 26, 2022 is attached as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.
While the Company has not engaged a new independent registered public accounting firm, it has begun a search process to identify SW Audit’s successor. The Company will disclose its engagement of a new independent registered public accounting firm once the process has been completed and as required by Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations.
