(a)     Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Board of Directors of Consumer Capital Group, Inc. (the “Company”) has performed an evaluation of independent registered public accounting firms. As a result of this process, on March 15, 2018, the Board of Directors formally approved the engagement of Centurion ZD CPA Ltd. (“Centurion ZD”) (fka DCAW (CPA) Ltd. as successor to Dominic K.F. Chan & Co.) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017. Centurion ZD was the Company’s independent registered public accounting firms for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016, December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. On June 12, 2017, the Company engaged Wei, Wei & Co., LLP. (“Wei, Wei & Co.”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, and dismissed Centurion ZD on June 15, 2017. On March 12, 2018, the Company informed Wei, Wei & Co. that it has been dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm based on the Board of Directors’ decision. On March 9, 2018, the Company signed an engagement letter with Centurion ZD.

 

Wei, Wei & Co. has not completed any audits or issued any reports on the consolidated financial statements of the company for any period.

 

During the period from June 12, 2017, the date of appointment, through March 12, 2018, the date of dismissal, there have been no (i) disagreements with Wei, Wei & Co., on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Wei, Wei & Co., satisfaction, would have caused Wei, Wei & Co., to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its reports; or (ii) “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company has provided Wei, Wei & Co. with a copy of the above disclosures and requested that Wei, Wei & Co. furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) stating whether or not it agrees with the above statement. A copy of Wei, Wei & Co.’s letter, dated March 15, 2018 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

(b)     New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

As set forth about, concurrent with the decision to dismiss Wei, Wei & Co. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the Board of Directors approved the engagement of Centurion ZD as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm.

 

During the period from June 12, 2017 through March 9, 2018, neither the Company nor anyone on behalf of the Company consulted Centurion ZD regarding either (a) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or contemplated, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the financial statements of the Company, and no written or oral advice of Centurion ZD was provided with respect to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue, or (b) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement of the type described in Item 304(a)(iv) of Regulation S-K or any “reportable event” described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
