Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
|
(a)
|
On March 27, 2017, GlobalSCAPE, Inc. (“GlobalSCAPE” or the “Company”) RSM US LLP, or RSM, was dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
|
RSM performed the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016. The audit report of RSM on the consolidated financial statements of GlobalSCAPE and its subsidiaries as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
In connection with the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and through the date of this Current Report, there were: (i) no disagreements between the Company and RSM on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of RSM, would have caused RSM to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their report on the Company’s financial statements for such year, and (ii) no reportable events within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S‐K.
The Company has provided RSM a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8‐K and requested that RSM furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not RSM agrees with the Company’s statements in this Item 4.01(a). RSM has not provided the letter as of the date of this filing.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the change in the independent registered public accounting firm described herein.
| (b) |
Effective on March 27, 2017, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the appointment of BDO USA, LLP, or BDO, as its independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements. During the two most recent fiscal years and through March 27, 2017, the Company had not consulted with BDO with respect to: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements; or (iii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
