Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On May 9, 2024, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Wetouch Technology Inc. (the “Company”) approved the dismissal of BF Borgers CPA PC (“BF Borgers”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately.
The reports of BF Borgers on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 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.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and through the date of their dismissal, May 9, 2024, there were no “disagreements” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) with BF Borgers 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 BF Borgers, would have caused BF Borgers to make reference thereto in its reports on the consolidated financial statements for such years. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 and through May 9, 2024, there have been no “reportable events” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
Due to the fact that BF Borgers is not currently permitted to appear or practice before the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as noted in Staff Statement on Issuer Disclosure and Reporting Obligations in Light of Rule 102(e) Order against BF Borgers, which was issued by the SEC on May 3, 2024, we have not furnished the disclosures in this report with BF Borgers nor requested that BF Borgers auditor provide a letter stating whether it agrees with the disclosures in this report.
(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On May 10, 2024, the Company retained Enrome LLP (“Enrome LLP”) as its independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to engage Enrome LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and in the subsequent interim period prior to the engagement of Enrome LLP, the Company has not consulted with Enrome LLP with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that would have been rendered on the Company’s financial statements, or any other matters set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.
