Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On January 18, 2021, Veroni Brands Corp. (the “registrant” or the “Company”) dismissed L J Soldinger Associates, LLC (“Soldinger”) as its independent registered public accounting firm. Other than as noted in the paragraph below, the report of Soldinger on the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such reports were not qualified or modified as to audit scope, or accounting principles.
The report of Soldinger on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 contained explanatory paragraphs which noted that there was substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as the Company had recurring losses from operations, and an accumulated deficit, low working capital and cash balances that raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and through the interim period ended January 18, 2021, there were no “disagreements” (as such term is defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K) with Soldinger on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Soldinger’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference thereto in its reports on the Company’s financial statements for such periods.
On January 20, 2021, the Registrant engaged M&K CPA, PLLC (“M&K”) as the registered independent public accountant for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. The decision to appoint M&K was approved by the registrant’s Board of Directors on January 20, 2021.
During the registrant’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period up through the date of engagement of M&K (January 20, 2021), neither the registrant nor anyone on its behalf consulted M&K regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the registrant’s financial statements. Further, M&K has not provided the registrant with written or oral advice that was an important factor that the registrant considered in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
