Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
On February 27, 2018, The Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Cemtrex, Inc., (The “Company”) determined not to continue with the Registrant’s then accountants and to engage a different accounting firm. On February 26, 2018, the Company dismissed Bharat Parikh & Associates, located in Vadodara, India as its independent registered public accounting firm.
During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2016, and 2017, and the subsequent interim periods through February 27, 2018, there were (i) no disagreements (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and Bharat Parikh & Associates on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Bharat Parikh & Associates’ satisfaction, would have caused Bharat Parikh & Associates to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years, and (ii) no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation SK.
The Registrant has provided Bharat Parikh & Associates with a copy of this disclosure and has requested that they furnish a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements, and if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter from Bharat Parikh & Associates addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is filed as an Exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
On February 27, 2018, (the “Engagement Date”), the Company engaged Green & Company, CPAs (“Green & Company”) as its independent registered public accounting firm after the Audit Committee formally approved the decision to engage Green & Company as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
The address of Green & Company is:
10320 N 56TH STREET, SUITE 330
TEMPLE TERRACE, FL 33617
The Company, nor any one on its behalf, did not consult with Green & Company in regard to the application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s Financial Statements, or any other matters or reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
