Item 4.01 Change in Registrants Certifying Accountant

 

Previous independent registered public accounting firm

 

On May 20, 2014 (the “Resignation Date”), GREENESTONE HEALTHCARE CORPORATION. (the “Company”) was advised by Jarvis Ryan Associates (the “Former Auditor”) that it resigned in accordance with Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, for no cause as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to resign as the Former Auditor as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was accepted by the Company’s management on May 20, 2014. The report of the Former Auditor on the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such reports were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and through the Resignation Date, the Company has not had any disagreements with the Former Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Former Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and through the Resignation Date, there were no reportable events, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company has requested that our Former Auditor furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of this letter is attached hereto to this amendment to the Form 8-K as Exhibit 16.1.

 

New independent registered public accounting firm

 

On June 26, 2014 (the “Engagement Date”), the Company engaged RBSM LLP (“New Auditor”) as its independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The decision to engage the New Auditor as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years and through the Engagement Date, the Company has not consulted with the New Auditor regarding either:

 

1. 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 was provided to the Company nor oral advice was provided that the New Auditor concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the 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)).
