This 8-K filing reports the dismissal of BDO USA, P.C. as the independent registered public accounting firm and the immediate engagement of CBIZ CPAs P.C. While the company states there were no disagreements or reportable events with BDO, this change is highly significant given the company's recent notifications of late filings for its annual reports (NT-NCSR on March 11 and NT-NCEN on March 13).
