Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

(a) Release of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

On October 30, 2023, the audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the board of directors of Prestige Wealth Inc. (the “Company”) resolved to dismiss Marcum Asia CPAs LLP (“MarcumAsia”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective October 30, 2023.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years and through the subsequent interim period preceding the release, MarcumAsia has neither provided any adverse opinion or qualifications on the Company’s financial statements nor had a disagreement with the Company since their engagement on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements that, if not resolved to MarcumAsia’s satisfaction, would have caused MarcumAsia to make reference to the subject matter thereof in its reports for such fiscal years and interim period.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years and through the subsequent interim period preceding the release, there was no “reportable event” within the meaning of Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F, except that there were material weaknesses identified related to: (i) a lack of accounting staff and resources with appropriate knowledge of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting and compliance requirements; (ii) a lack of sufficient documented financial closing policies and procedures; and (iii) a lack of independent directors and an audit committee.

 

The Company has provided MarcumAsia with a copy of this report prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). MarcumAsia has provided a letter to us, dated November 2, 2023 and addressed to the SEC, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1 and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

 

(b) New independent registered public accounting firm

 

On October 31, 2023, the Company has engaged Yu Certified Public Accountant, P.C. (“Yu”) as its independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. The decision to engage Yu as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Audit Committee.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years and through the date of this report, the Company has not consulted with Yu regarding any of the following:

 

1. the application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements;

 

  2. the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements by Yu, in either case where written or oral advice provided by Yu would be an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues; or

 

  3. any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).
