Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On November 21, 2023, MSPC Certified Public Accountants and Advisors, A Professional Corporation (“MSPC”), the independent registered public accounting firm of ESGL Holdings Limited (the “Company”), notified the Company that it has decided to cease the services as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company effective November 21, 2023. However, MSPC will retain the ability to issue a consent to the use of audit reports issued to date, in accordance with professional standards.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, there were no (i) disagreements between the Company and MSPC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, any of which, if not resolved to MSPC’s satisfaction, would have caused MSPC to make reference thereto in its audit report on the financial statements of the Company for such period, or (ii) “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. There were no disputes or disagreements between the Company and MSPC during the time it was the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm through the date of resignation.
The Company provided MPSC with a copy of this disclosure before its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company requested that MSPC provide us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. That letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company is now engaged in interviewing and selecting a replacement independent accountant to perform the upcoming audit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
