No Disagreements, But Reportable Events
While there were no "disagreements" with Deloitte, the material weaknesses constitute "reportable events" under SEC regulations.
Analysis
The change in auditors, while not explicitly due to disagreements, occurs in the context of previously disclosed and ongoing material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting. These weaknesses, including insufficient segregation of duties and lack of experienced staff, raise concerns about the reliability of the company's financial reporting, especially given its recent delisting and "going concern" warning. This move could be an attempt to address these issues or a symptom of deeper problems.
