INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 6-K REPORT 

 

Effective July 29, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), the audit committee of the board of directors of Skillful Craftsman Education Technology Limited (the “Company”) dismissed BDO China Shu Lun Pan Certified Public Accountants LLP (“BDO”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

 

BDO previously issued reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2019. Such audit reports did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2019 and through the Effective Date, BDO did not inform the Company that there were (i) any disagreements between the Company and BDO on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BDO, would have caused BDO to make reference thereto in their reports on the consolidated financial statements for such years, and (ii) any reportable events as that term is defined in Item 16F a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F.

 

Effective July 29, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), the audit committee of the board of directors of the Company approved the appointment of Thayer O’Neal Company, LLC (“Thayer”) as its new independent registered public accounting firm for the audit of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 and to issue an audit report.

 

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and in the subsequent interim period through the Effective Date, the Company has not consulted with Thayer 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 Thayer 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 defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
