Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
On February 15, 2024, Earth Science Tech, Inc. (the “Company”), engaged Assurance Dimensions Certified Public Accountants & Associates (the “New Accountant”) to audit the Company’s year ended March 31, 2024. The New Accountant has been engaged for general audit and review services and not because of any particular transaction or accounting principle, or because of any disagreement with the Company’s former accountant, R. Bolko, CPA, P.A. (the “Former Accountant”). The Company changed its accounting principle due to the New Accountant being located closer to the Company’s operations.
The Former Accountant’s reports on the Company’s financial statements during its past fiscal year did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except for a going concern qualification contained in its audit report for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023. The decision to change accountants was recommended and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 through the date hereof, the Company did not have any disagreements with the Former Accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of the former accountant would have caused them to make reference in connection with their report to the subject of the disagreement.
Neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted the New Accountant regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, or (iii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or event identified in response to Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K (there being none).
