Item 4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On April 12, 2022, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) of GEE Group Inc., an Illinois corporation (the “Company”), engaged Dixon Hughes Goodman LLP (“DHG”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Also, on April 12, 2022, the Audit Committee approved the dismissal of Friedman LLP (“Friedman”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective April 12, 2022, and the Company notified Friedman, accordingly.
Friedman’s audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
There were no disagreements with Friedman on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, from the time of Friedman’s engagement up to the date of dismissal which disagreements that, if not resolved to Friedman’s satisfaction, would have caused Fridman to make reference in connection with its opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement. No “reportable events”, as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v)(A)-(D)of Regulation S-K occurred within the two fiscal years of the Company ended September 30, 2021, and 2020 and subsequently up to the date of its dismissal.
The Company provided Friedman with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that Friedman furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of Friedman’s letter dated April 15, 2022, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.
During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, and the subsequent interim periods through December 31, 2021, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has consulted with DHG regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that DHG concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue, (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions, or (iii) any reportable event within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
