Analysis · SURG · Technology
SurgePays dismissed its auditor TAAD LLP and engaged Sadler, Gibb & Associates on September 11, 2026. The prior auditor's FY2025 report carried a going concern explanatory paragraph, and the company's recent 10-Q already flagged going concern doubt and Nasdaq delisting risk. An auditor change at a company already under financial distress adds governance uncertainty — investors will scrutinize whether the new firm will issue a clean opinion or reinforce the going concern warning.
