Change in Certifying Accountants Form 8 K
Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On October 8, 2024, Marcum LLP ("Marcum") notified ChromaDex Corporation (the "Company") that it was resigning, effective October 31, 2024, as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company due to independence concerns relating to Marcum's impending merger with CBIZ Inc., which provides human resources consulting and health insurance brokerage services to the Company. Marcum is not required to obtain, and did not seek, the Company's consent to its decision to resign as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. As a result, neither the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") nor the Audit Committee of the Board took part in Marcum's decision to provide its notice of resignation.
Marcum's audit reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023 and the subsequent interim period through the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, there were (i) no disagreements 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 them to make reference thereto in connection with their reports on the financial statements for such years and (ii) no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Company has requested that Marcum furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated October 11, 2024, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
