Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On May 12, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Vicapsys Life Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the dismissal of D. Brooks and Associates CPAs, P.A. (“D. Brooks”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective May 12, 2023.
The audit reports of D. Brooks on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for each of the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 contained an explanatory paragraph regarding the substantial doubt out the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern but did not otherwise contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and in the subsequent interim period through May 12, 2023, (i) there were no “disagreements” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) with D. Brooks on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of D. Brooks, would have caused D. Brooks to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreement in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such periods, and (ii) there were no “reportable events” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions).
The Company provided D. Brooks with a copy of the disclosure contained in this section of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to the time this report was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and requested that D. Brooks furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the above statements and, if not, stating the respects to which it does not agree. A copy of D. Brooks’ letter, dated May 17, 2023, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Engagement of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On May 12, 2023, 2023, the Board appointed Assurance Dimensions. (“Assurance”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.
During our two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and in the subsequent interim period through May 12, 2023, neither the Company nor anyone on the Company’s behalf consulted Assurance regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, in connection with which either a written report or oral advice was provided to the Company that Assurance concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement,” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or a “reportable event,” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
