Item 4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Account.

(a)Resignation of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


By letter dated December 16, 2024, Cherry Bekaert LLP (“Cherry Bekaert”) notified the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) of MIRA Pharmaceuticals, Inc’s (the “Company”) of its resignation as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Cherry Bekaert’s reports on the financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle, other than an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

During the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and through the subsequent interim period up to and including the date of Cherry Bekaert’s resignation:

(i) there<br> were no disagreements between the Company and Cherry Bekaert on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement<br> disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to Cherry Bekaert’s satisfaction, would have<br> caused Cherry Bekaert to make reference in connection with its opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement, and
(ii) there<br> were no “reportable events,” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except that Cherry Bekaert<br> advised the Company of material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting as of December 30, 2023 and 2022.

The Company has provided Cherry Bekaert with a copy of the foregoing disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing and requested, in accordance with applicable practices, that Cherry Bekaert furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made herein. Attached as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of Cherry Bekaert’s letter, dated [ ], stating that it agrees with such statements.

(b)Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On December 18^th^, 2024, the Company engaged Salberg & Company P.A. (“Salberg”) as its new independent registered public accountant for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. This decision was recommended by the Audit Committee in accordance with the authority of the Audit Committee as specified in its Charter, and approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and through December 20, 2024, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with Salberg regarding (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Salberg concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (2) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or (3) any reportable event within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
