Analysis · ELWT · Technology
Elauwit Connection dismissed its auditor, WithumSmith+Brown, effective October 5, 2026, and immediately engaged MPB Global LLP for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. The outgoing auditor's report on FY2025 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer, but the company had previously disclosed material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. An auditor change at a company already under going-concern pressure and with known control deficiencies raises governance and audit-quality questions, especially with a new, less familiar firm taking over mid-year.
