Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a) On September 16, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) of Camber Energy, Inc, Inc. (the “Company”), dismissed Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as its independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of such date.
The report of Marcum on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, and for the years then ended did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, other than an explanatory paragraph relating to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, and for the years then ended were the most current audited financial statements of the Company, the Company changed its fiscal year to December 31st on February 4, 2021, and on September 11, 2021, the Company determined that those audited financial statements should not be relied on, and filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about September 16, 2021, regarding that non-reliance.
During the Company’s prior fiscal years ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, the transition period ended December 31, 2020, and through September 16, 2021, there were no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) with Marcum 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 Marcum, would have caused Marcum to make reference to the matter in its report on the consolidated financial statements for such year.
The Company has provided Marcum with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested that it furnish a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements, and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of such letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
(b) On September 17, 2021, the Audit Committee approved the appointment of Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.P. (“Turner Stone”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2020 and March 31 2019, and for the transition period ended December 31, 2020, and such engagement was formalized on September 21, 2021.
During the prior fiscal years ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, the transition period ended December 31, 2020, and through September 21, 2021, neither the Company nor anyone on their behalf consulted with Turner Stone with respect to either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither written nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Turner Stone concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of disagreement as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
