Change of Auditor

 

Starbox Group Holdings Ltd. (the “Company”) was notified by Friedman LLP (“Friedman”), the Company’s then independent registered public accounting firm, that effective September 1, 2022, Friedman combined with Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) and continued to operate as an independent registered public accounting firm. On October 20, 2022, the audit committee of the board of directors of the Company approved the dismissal of Friedman and the engagement of Marcum Asia CPAs LLP (“Marcum Asia”) to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company. The services previously provided by Friedman will now be provided by Marcum Asia.

 

Friedman’s reports on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2021 and 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. Furthermore, during the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and through October 20, 2022, there have been no disagreements with Friedman on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Friedman’s satisfaction, would have caused Friedman to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the Company’s financial statements for such periods.

 

For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and through October 20, 2022, there were no “reportable events” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company provided Friedman with a copy of the above disclosure and requested that Friedman furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statement. A copy of Friedman’s letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 6-K.

 

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and through October 20, 2022, neither the Company nor anyone acting on the Company’s behalf consulted Marcum Asia with respect to any of the matters or reportable events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
