Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a) Dismissal of independent registered public accounting firm
On November 4, 2024, Pacific Health Care Organization, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed GreenGrowth CPAs Inc. (“GreenGrowth”) as its independent registered public accounting firm. The Board of Directors approved the dismissal of GreenGrowth.
GreenGrowth was engaged by the Company on December 20, 2023. GreenGrowth audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and reviewed the Company’s interim financial statements as of March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2024. The report of GreenGrowth on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was such report qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During GreenGrowth’s engagement, there were no “disagreements” (within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) between the Company and GreenGrowth 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 GreenGrowth, would have caused GreenGrowth to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on financial statements of the Company for such periods. During these same periods, there were no “reportable events” (within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions under the Exchange Act).
The Company provided GreenGrowth with a copy of the above statements prior to filing this report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and requested that GreenGrowth furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made above. A copy of GreenGrowth’s letter, dated November 6, 2024, is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this report on Form 8-K.
(b) Engagement of new independent registered public accounting firm
The Company has engaged Boulay PLLP (“Boulay”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company, effective November 5, 2024. The Board of Directors of the Company approved the engagement of Boulay.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years (ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022) and the subsequent interim period prior to the engagement of Boulay, neither the Company, nor anyone on the Company’s behalf consulted with Boulay regarding either: (1) the application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either 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 Boulay 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 Regulation S-K, Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and the related instructions) or reportable event (as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 304(a)(1)(v)).
