ITEM 4.01. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Audit Committee") of Wellness Center USA, Inc. (the "Company") has completed a review regarding the appointment of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending September 30, 2016, and for the interim period continuing from the date hereof through such fiscal year end.
As a result of this process on April 29, 2016, the Audit Committee engaged Weinberg & Company, P.A., 1925 Century Plaza East, Suite 1120, Los Angeles, California 90067 (310) 601-2200 (WCPA), as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for said fiscal year and interim period, and dismissed Li and Company, PC ("Li & Co.") from that role.
The audit reports of Li & Co. on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, 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 other than an explanatory paragraph as to a going concern.
During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, and the subsequent interim period through April 29, 2016, there were (i) no "disagreements" as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, between the Company and Li & Co. 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 Li & Co., would have caused Li & Co. to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their audit reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements for such years, and (ii) no "reportable events" as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Li & Co. with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Report"). The Company requested that Li & Co. furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of Li & Co.s letter dated May 2, 2016 is attached as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.
During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, and the subsequent interim period through April 29, 2016, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has consulted with WCPA with respect to (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified 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 WCPA concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a "disagreement" or "reportable event" as those terms are defined in Item 304(a)(1) of Regulation S-K.
