Item 4.01
Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On October 29, 2024, the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Directors of Firefly Neuroscience, Inc. (the "Company") dismissed Turner, Stone & Company LLP ("Turner Stone") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately.
The reports of Turner Stone on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that Turner Stone's reports for the years ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, each contained an explanatory paragraph stating there was substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
During the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, and the subsequent interim period through October 29, 2024, there were no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Regulation S-K") and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) with Turner Stone 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 Turner Stone, would have caused Turner Stone to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements for such years. Also during this time, there were no "reportable events," as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Turner Stone with a copy of the above disclosures and requested that Turner Stone furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made above. A copy of Turner Stone's letter dated October 31, 2024, is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
(b) Appointment of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On October 31, 2024, the Audit Committee engaged Marcum Canada, LLP ("Marcum") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, effective immediately. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, and the subsequent interim period through October 31, 2024, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with Marcum regarding (i) 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 consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Marcum 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 defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or a "reportable event," as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
