ITEM 4.01 CHANGE IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
(a) Resignation of Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
| (i) | On June 30, 2016, Asia Equity Exchange Group, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed Anthony Kam & Associates Limited, CPA (“AKAM”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company, effective immediately. The dismissal of AKAM was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. | |
| (ii) | AKAM’s report on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that its report contained a going concern qualification as to the Company’s ability to continue. | |
| (iii) | During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and during the subsequent interim period through June 30, 2016, (a) there were no disagreements with AKAM 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 AKAM, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such periods and (b) there were no “reportable events” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. | |
| (iv) | On July 1, 2016, the Company provided AKAM with a copy of this Current Report and has requested that it furnish the Company with a letter addressing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report. |
(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On June 30, 2016, concurrent with the dismissal of AKAM, the Company, upon the Board of Directors’ approval, engaged Crowe Horwath (HK) CPA Limited (“Crowe Horwath”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and during the subsequent interim period through June 30, 2016, the Company did not consult Crowe Horwath with respect to (a) 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 consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Company or oral advice was provided that Crowe Horwath concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (b) 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 described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
