Analysis · DFLI · Manufacturing
Effective for the year ending December 31, 2026, Dragonfly Energy has dismissed CBIZ CPAs and engaged MaloneBailey LLP as its new independent auditor. The filing indicates no disagreements or reportable events with CBIZ CPAs, and no prior consultations with MaloneBailey. This marks the company's second auditor change in roughly 18 months—Marcum LLP resigned in March 2025 and was replaced by CBIZ CPAs. Coming just one month after a Nasdaq delisting notice for failing the minimum stockholders' equity requirement, the change adds another governance red flag for a company already under listing pressure.
