Analysis
The dismissal of Marcum Asia CPAs LLP and appointment of Fortune CPA, Inc. as the new auditor is a critical development for Fly-E Group. This change occurs while the company is already facing a Nasdaq delinquency notice for an overdue Form 10-Q and has previously disclosed material weaknesses in its internal controls. Furthermore, Marcum Asia's prior audit reports included an explanatory paragraph regarding the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
