Analysis · SDOT · Trade & Services
Sadot Group dismissed its auditor of four years, Kreit & Chiu CPA LLP, effective September 22, 2026, and engaged CT International LLP the same day. The dismissal follows stockholders' refusal to ratify Kreit & Chiu at the September 10 annual meeting. The outgoing auditor's 2025 report carried a going concern explanatory paragraph, and the company confirms a material weakness in internal controls remains unremediated. For a company already facing zero revenue, a going concern warning, and severe liquidity issues, an auditor change amid unresolved control deficiencies raises the risk of delayed or qualified financial reporting.
