SECTION 4- MATTERS RELATED TO ACCOUNTANTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
Appointment of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On August 19, 2024, Ilustrato Pictures International Inc. (the “Company”) engaged Bush and Associates CPA (the “New Accountant”) as its independent registered public accounting firm. The engagement of the New Accountant was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.
Resignation of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On August 13, 2024, Ilustrato Pictures International Inc. (the “Company”) was notified by Pipara & Co LLP (“Pipara”) of its decision to resign as the Company’s independent registered accounting firm, effective as of such date.
The reports of Pipara on the Company’s financial statements for the two most recently completed fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that Pipara’s audit report on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 included an explanatory paragraph contained an uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the Company’s two most recently completed fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the subsequent interim period through the audit review date as of March 31, 2023, there were no “disagreements” (as such term is defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K) with Pipara on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of Pipara would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such periods.
During the Company’s two most recently completed fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the subsequent interim period through the audit review date as of March 31, 2023, there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K), other than as disclosed in Part II, Item 9A of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, where the Company’s management, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer determined that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by the report.

Dear Sir/Madam:
We have read the statements made by Ilustrato Pictures International Inc. (the Company), which were provided to us and which we understand will be filed with the Commission in a report on Form 8-K pursuant to Item 4.01 of Regulation S-K, regarding the change in its certifying accountant. We agree with the statements concerning our firm in such Current Report on Form 8-K. We have no basis to agree or disagree with other statements made under Item 4.01, except the following paragraph, for which no procedures have been conducted by the firm, either to identify “reportable events” between the last conducted review for period ended March 31, 2024 and the date of this letter, nor has the firm conducted any procedures on the company’s determination of internal controls over financial reporting:
During the Company’s two most recently completed fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the subsequent interim period through the date of resignation, there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K), other than as disclosed in Part II, Item 9A of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, where the Company’s management, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer determined that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by the report.
The above paragraph does not reference procedures conducted by Pipara & Co LLP by the company, and this comment is included only for sake of clarity to the readers.
We hereby consent to the filing of this letter as an exhibit to the foregoing report on Form 8-K.
Very truly yours,
| /s/ Pipara & Co LLP | |
