Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a) On April 18, 2019, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) of Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the engagement of Dixon Hughes Goodman LLP (“DHG”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of immediately after the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which occurred on April 22, 2019. As a result, on April 18, 2019, the Audit Committee approved the dismissal of RSM US LLP (“RSM”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, to be effective as of immediately after the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which occurred on April 22, 2019. The engagement of DHG was the result of a comprehensive, competitive process conducted by the Company’s Audit Committee.
RSM’s audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for each of the two most recent fiscal years ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 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. During the two most recent fiscal years ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, and in the subsequent interim period through April 22, 2019, there were no disagreements between the Company and RSM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of RSM, would have caused RSM to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports.
There were no reportable events (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K) during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 and the subsequent interim period through April 22, 2019.
On April 18, 2019, the Company provided RSM with a copy of the disclosures that the Company is making in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K and requested that RSM furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K, and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. The Company has received the requested letter from RSM, and a copy of RSM’s letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
(b) During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 and subsequent interim period through April 22, 2019, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with DHG regarding either (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 DHG concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a “reportable event” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
