SECTION 4. MATTERS
RELATING TO ACCOUNTANTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's
Certifying Accountant.
On
or about March 23, 2016, CrowdGather, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (the "Company") engaged Hall & Company Certified
Public Accountants, Inc. ("New Accountant") to audit and review the
Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2016, and to review the
Corporation's unaudited financial statements for the quarterly periods
beginning with the quarter ended January 31, 2016. The New Accountant has been
engaged for general audit and review services and not because of any particular
transaction or accounting principle, or because of any disagreement with the
Company's former accountant, Q Accountancy Corporation (the "Former
Accountant").
On
February 25, 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
ordered the temporary suspension of Timothy Quintanilla, CPA, the Company's
engagement partner and owner of Q Accountancy Corporation, from practicing as
an accountant on behalf of any publicly traded company or other entity
regulated by the SEC. The Former Accountant was dismissed effective March
21, 2016. The Former Accountant's reports on the Company's financial
statements during its past two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion
or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principles, except for a going concern qualification contained in
its audit report for the fiscal years ending April 30, 2015 and 2014. The
decision to change accountants was recommended and approved by the Company's
Board of Directors. During the fiscal years ended April 30, 2015, April
30, 2014 and April 30, 2013 through the date hereof, the Company did not have
any disagreements with the Former Accountant 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 the
former accountant would have caused them to make reference in connection with
their report to the subject of the disagreement(s).
The
New Accountant was engaged effective March 22, 2016. The Company has
furnished Q Accountancy Corporation with a copy of the disclosures under this
Item 4.01 and has requested that the Former Accountant provide a letter
addressed to the SEC stating whether or not they agree with the statements made
herein or stating the reasons in which they do not agree. The letter from
the Former Accountant addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission is
filed herewith as Exhibit 16.1.
On
March 23, 2016, the Board of Directors approved the Company's engagement of Hall
& Company, Certified Public Accountants, Inc. as independent accountants
for the Company and its subsidiaries.
Neither
the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted the New Accountant regarding (i)
the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or
contemplated transaction, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered
on the Company's financial statements, or (iii) any matter that was the subject
of a disagreement or event identified in response to Item 304(a)(2) of
Regulation S-K (there being none).
