Item 4.01Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

(a)                Resignation of Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

On April 4, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), ZH CPA LLP (“ZH”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm for Senmiao Technology Limited (the “Company”).

 

The reports of ZH on the Company’s financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years and through the Effective Date, there were (i) no disagreements between the Company and ZH on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of ZH, would have caused ZH to make reference thereto in their reports on the consolidated financial statements for such years, and (ii) no reportable events as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company provided ZH with a copy of this Form 8-K and requested that ZH furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not ZH agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated April 10, 2018, is attached as Exhibit 16.1.

 

(b)                Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

On the Effective Date, the audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the board of directors of the Company appointed Friedman LLP (“Friedman”) as its new independent registered public accounting firm, subject to the ratification of the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2018 annual general meeting.

 

Except as disclosed herein, during the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and in the subsequent interim period through the Effective Date, the Company has not consulted with Friedman regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Friedman concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
