Item 4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
Resignation of HKCM CPA & Co and Engagement of KCCW Accountancy Corp.
On June 18, 2020, HKCM CPA & Co. (“HKCM”) resigned from its position as our independent registered public accountant, effective immediately. Effective June 18, 2020, the Board of Directors of Cosmos Group Holdings Inc., a Nevada corporation (“we” or “us”), retained KCCW Accountancy Corp. (“KCCW”) to serve as our independent registered public accountant and audit our consolidated financial statements for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, effective immediately. Except as noted in the paragraph immediately below, the reports of HKCM on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year 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 uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.
The reports of HKCM on the Company’s consolidated 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 has not generated any revenues and has incurred operating losses since inception, which raised doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company has not had any disagreements with HKCM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to HKCM’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such periods.
During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no reportable events, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
We have requested that HKCM furnish us with a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of this letter is included herewith as Exhibit 16.1.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and up until the date of engagement of KCCW, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted KCCW regarding (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and KCCW did not provide either a written report or oral advice to the Company that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue, (2) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement with HKCM on accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of HKCM, would have caused HKCM to make reference to the matter in their report, or a “reportable event” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K of the SEC’s rules and regulations.
Dismissal of KCCW Accountancy Corp. and Engagement of J&S Associate

(“KCCW”) as our independent registered public accountant, effective immediately.
