Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
Based on information provided by the independent registered public accounting firm of Jerash Holdings (US), Inc. (the “Company”), Friedman LLP (“Friedman”), effective September 1, 2022, Friedman combined with Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) and continued to operate as an independent registered public accounting firm as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Marcum. On September 20, 2022, at the request of Friedman, the audit committee of the board of directors of the Company approved the engagement of Marcum to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company. The services previously provided by Friedman will now be provided by Marcum.
Friedman’s reports on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 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 September 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 March 31, 2022 and 2021 and through September 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 disclosure contained herein, prior to its filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), and requested that Friedman furnish the Company a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether or not it agreed with the statements herein and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. Friedman’s letter to the Commission is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and through September 20, 2022, neither the Company nor anyone acting on the Company’s behalf consulted Marcum with respect to any of the matters or reportable events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
