Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
Discontinuation of the Services from the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Virax Biolabs Group Limited (the “Company”) is furnishing this current report on Form 6-K to report the dismissal of BF Borgers CPA PC (“BFB”) effective April 19, 2023. The dismissal of BFB has been considered and approved by the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company.
BFB’s reports on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that such reports expressed doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Furthermore, during the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and through April 19, 2023, there have been no disagreements with BFB on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to BFB’s satisfaction, would have caused BFB to make reference to the subject matter of any such disagreements in connection with its reports on the Company’s financial statements for such periods.
For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 and through April 19, 2023, there were no “reportable events” as that term is described in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of the Form 20-F.
The Company provided BFB with a copy of the above disclosure and requested that BFB furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statement. A copy of BFB’s letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 6-K.
Appointment of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Company has appointed Reliant CPA PC (“Reliant”) as successor auditor of the Compnay effective April 19, 2022 to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. The appointment of Reliant has been approved by the Board.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and through April 19, 2023, neither the Company nor anyone acting on the Company’s behalf consulted Reliant with respect to any of the matters or reportable events set forth in Item 16F(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of the Form 20-F.
