ITEM 4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On February 4, 2020, Redwood Green Corp. (the "Company") terminated Marcum LLP ("Marcum") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. The dismissal of Marcum was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company.

Marcum was dismissed without ever reporting on the financial statements of the Company.

Commencing August 5, 2019 (Date of Engagement) and through February 4, 2020, there have been no "disagreements" (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and related instructions) with Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum would have caused Marcum to make reference thereto in its reports on the consolidated financial statements for such years.

During the course of its engagement Marcum identified certain material weaknesses in the Company's internal accounting systems.  The Company did not disagree with Marcum on the identified material weaknesses and the following disclosure will be included in the Quarterly report for the Quarter ended September 30, 2019:

We did not maintain adequately designed internal control over the preparation and oversight of:

  • Month-end and period-end financial close processes.
  • Non-routine or complex transactions.
  • The adoption of new accounting standards.
  • The preparation of the financial statements and notes included in the Form 10-Q filing.

Management is in the process of determining how best to change our current system and implement a more effective system to insure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act have been recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately. Our management intends to develop procedures to address the current deficiencies to the extent possible given limitations in financial and personnel resources. While management is working on a plan, no assurance can be made at this point that the implementation of such controls and procedures will be completed in a timely manner or that they will be adequate once implemented."

The Company provided Marcum with a copy of the disclosure it is making herein in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K, and requested that Marcum furnish the Company with a copy of its letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), pursuant to Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, stating whether Marcum agrees with the statements related to them made by the Company in this report. A copy of Marcum's letter to the SEC dated February 4, 2020 attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this report.

(b) Newly Engaged Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On February 4, 2020, the Audit Committee approved the appointment of BF Borgers CPA, PC ("Borgers") as the Company's new independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately, to perform independent audit services for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.  During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019 and through February 4, 2020, neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted Borgers 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 with respect to the consolidated financial statements of the Company, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by Borgers that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was 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 that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
