Item 4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
On May 7, 2024, Yoshiharu Global Co. (the “Company”) dismissed BF Borgers CPA, P.C. (“BFB”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on the grounds that BFB is not currently permitted to appear or practice before the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The decision to dismiss BFB as independent registered public accounting firm was made with the recommendation and approval of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company.
BFB’s audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles.
There have been no “disagreements” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) and no “reportable event” occurred (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the subsequent interim periods up to and including the date of BFB’s dismissal between the Company and BFB on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BFB, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their report on the Company’s financial statements for those periods.
BFB is not currently permitted to appear or practice before the SEC for reasons described in the SEC’s Order Instituting Public Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933, Sections 4C and 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 102(e) of the SEC’s Rules of Practice, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-and-Desist Order, dated May 3, 2024. Therefore, we are not requesting BFB to furnish our Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made herein as required by Item 304 of Regulation S-1.
The Company is in the process of reviewing potential engagement options for a new independent registered public accounting firm. Once a firm is appointed, the Company will file a subsequent Current Report on Form 8-K to announce such appointment.
