Previous independent registered public accounting firm

 

On March 6, 2019, China Internet Nationwide Financial Services Inc. (the “Company” or “we”) dismissed Marcum Bernstein & Pinchuk LLP (“ Marcum ”) as its independent registered public accounting firm. The reports of Marcum , on our financial statements for each of the past two fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017 contained no adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not modified. The decision to change the independent accountant was approved and ratified by our Board of Directors (“Board of Directors”) on March 6, 2019.

 

During our two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017 and through the date of this report, we have had no disagreements with Marcum , 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 Marcum , would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in its report on our financial statements for such periods.

 

During our two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017 and through the date of this report on Form 6-K, there have been no reportable events as defined under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

We provided Marcum , with a copy of this disclosure before the filing was made with the SEC. We requested that Marcum , provide us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements, and we received a letter from Marcum , stating that it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated as of March 7, 2019 is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

 

New independent registered public accounting firm.

 

Effective March 6, 2019, the Company engaged Wei Wei & Co., LLP, Certified Public Accountants (“Wei”) as our new independent registered public accounting firm. During the two most recent fiscal years and through the date of our engagement, we did not consult with Wei regarding either (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, or (2) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). In approving the selection of Wei as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm, our Board of Directors considered all relevant factors.
