Item 4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

  

On October 3, 2017, Ominto, Inc. (the “Company”) engaged Friedman LLP (“Friedman”) as our principal independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to engage Friedman was recommended by our Audit Committee and approved by our Board of Directors for the Company’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2017 and its fiscal year ending on September 30, 2017.

 

During our two most recent fiscal years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 and in the subsequent interim period through the date of appointment, we have not consulted with Friedman regarding either the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, nor has Friedman provided to us a written report or oral advice that Friedman concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue. In addition, during such periods, we have not consulted with Friedman regarding any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

 

 Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On October 3, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing Friedman as our principal independent registered public accounting firm. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
