Change in the Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
On November 22, 2022, the audit committee of the board of directors of Starbox Group Holdings Ltd. (the “Company”) approved the dismissal of Marcum Asia CPAs LLP (“Marcum Asia”) and the engagement of YCM CPA INC. (“YCM”) to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for (i) an audit of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 and subsequent financial years; (ii) a review of the Company’s semi-annual financial statements for the six months ending March 31, 2023 and subsequent semi-annual financial statements; and (iii) other audit functions as are required by the Company.
The Company engaged Marcum Asia during the period from October 20, 2022 to November 22, 2022 (the “Engagement Period”). During the Engagement Period, Marcum Asia did not issue any reports on the Company’s financial statements. Furthermore, during the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and through November 22, 2022, there have been no disagreements with Marcum Asia on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Marcum Asia’s satisfaction, would have caused Marcum Asia to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the Company’s financial statements.
For the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through the date of Marcum Asia’s dismissal, there were no “reportable events” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Marcum Asia with a copy of the above disclosure and requested that Marcum Asia 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 Marcum Asia’s letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 6-K.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and through November 22, 2022, neither the Company nor anyone acting on the Company’s behalf consulted YCM with respect to any of the matters or reportable events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
