Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a) Resignation of independent registered public accounting firm
On January 13, 2025, Centurion ZD CPA & Co. (“Centurion ZD”), the independent registered public accounting firm for Scientific Energy, Inc. (the “Company”), resigned from its role as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm in connection with its intention to withdraw from registration with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB"). The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) did not participate in Centurion ZD’s decision to resign.
The reports of Centurion ZD on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and the subsequent interim period through Centurion ZD's resignation, there were no “disagreements” (within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) between the Company and Centurion ZD on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Centurion ZD, would have caused Centurion ZD to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on financial statements of the Company for such years. During this same period, there were no “reportable events” (within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions under the Exchange Act).
The Company has provided Centurion ZD with a copy of the foregoing disclosures under Item 4.01 on Form 8-K prior to filing it with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and has requested that Centurion ZD furnish to the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company in this Item 4.01 on Form 8-K. A copy of Centurion ZD's letter, dated January 13, 2025, is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this report on Form 8-K.
(b) Engagement of new independent registered public accounting firm
The Company has engaged AOGB CPA Limited (“AOBG”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company, effective January 13, 2025. The Board of Directors of the Company approved the engagement of AOBG.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years (ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022) and the subsequent interim period prior to the engagement of AOBG, neither the Company, nor anyone on the Company’s behalf consulted with AOBG regarding either: (1) the application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements; or (2) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and the related instructions) or reportable event (as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 304(a)(1)(v)).
