Change in Certifying Accountants Form 8 K

Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

On October 8, 2024, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, or the Audit Committee, of Research Solutions, Inc., or the Company, dismissed Weinberg and Company, P.A., or Weinberg, as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

Weinberg's reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, 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 fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, and the subsequent interim period through October 8, 2024: (i) there were no "disagreements", as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, between the Company and Weinberg on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Weinberg's satisfaction, would have caused Weinberg to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in connection with its reports for such years and interim period, and (ii) there were no "reportable events", as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company provided Weinberg with a copy of the above disclosures prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, and requested that Weinberg furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether Weinberg agrees with the statements made by the Company herein. The letter from Weinberg, addressed to the SEC, was furnished to the Company on October 9, 2024 and is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.

(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

On October 8, 2024, the Audit Committee approved and ratified the appointment of Wipfli LLP, or Wipfli, as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm as of October 8, 2024.

During the two most recent fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, and 2024, and the subsequent interim period through October 8, 2024, neither the Company nor anyone on the Company's behalf consulted with Wipfli with respect to (i)(a) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, (b) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and (c) neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Wipfli concluded 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 either the subject of a "disagreement", as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a "reportable event", as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
