Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On May 3, 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) entered an order instituting settled administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings against BF Borgers and its sole audit partner, Benjamin F. Borgers CPA, permanently barring Mr. Borgers and BF Borgers from appearing or practicing before the Commission as an accountant (the “Order”). As a result of the Order, BF Borgers may no longer serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for Ameriguard Securities Services Inc. (“AGSS”), nor can BF Borgers issue any audit reports included in Commission filings or provide consents with respect to audit reports. In light of the Order, on May 6, 2024, the Board of Directors of AGSS terminated the engagement of BF Borgers as its independent registered accounting firm.
BF Borgers’s reports on AGSS’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
There have been no “disagreements” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) and no “reportable event” occurred (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K) during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the subsequent interim period up to and including May 6, 2024, the date of BF Borgers’s dismissal, between AGSS and BF Borgers on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BF Borgers, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their report on AGSS’s financial statements for those periods.
In the May 3, 2024 “Staff Statement on the Issuer Disclosure and Reporting Obligations in Light of Rule 102(e) Order Against BF Borgers CPA PC” (the “Staff Statement”), the Commission advised registrants that they may indicate in their Commission filing that BF Borgers is not currently permitted to appear or practice before the Commission for reasons described in the Order, in lieu of including a letter from BF Borgers stating whether it agrees with our disclosures under Item 304 of Regulation S-K. In light of the Order and the Staff Statement, we are not requesting BF Borgers to furnish the Company with such letter.
(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Accounting Firm
On May 8, 2024, the Board of Directors of AGSS appointed Bush & Associates CPA, LLC (“Bush & Associates”) as AGSS’s new independent registered accounting firm. During AGSS’s two most recent fiscal years and through May 8, 2024, neither AGSS nor anyone acting on AGSS’s behalf consulted Bush & Associates with respect to any of the matters or reportable events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
