INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 6-K REPORT
Changes of Registrant’s Certifying Accountants
On November 21, 2022, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”)
of Board of Directors of Jowell Global Ltd. (the “Company”)
approved the dismissal of Friedman LLP (“Friedman”) as the
Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and the
engagement of Marcum Asia CPAs LLP (“Marcum Asia”) to serve as the
independent registered public accounting firm of the Company. The
Company has been notified by Friedman that it has combined with
Marcum LLP and continued to operate as an independent registered
public accounting firm. Friedman served as the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm through November 20,
2022. The services previously provided by Friedman are now provided
by Marcum Asia.
The audit reports of Friedman on the consolidated financial
statements of the Company for each of the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2020 and 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021 and
through the subsequent interim period through November 20,
2022, there were (i) no disagreements, as defined in Item
16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F and the related instructions thereto,
between the Company and Friedman on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedures, which, if not resolved to Friedman’s
satisfaction, would have caused Friedman to make reference thereto
in its report on the financial statements for such years, and (ii)
no “reportable events” (as defined set forth in Item 16F(a)(1)(v)
of Form 20-F), other than the material weaknesses reported by
management in Item 15 of the Company’s Form 20-F filed with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) on April 25, 2022.
In accordance with Item 16F(a)(3) of Form 20-F, the Company has
provided Friedman with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and has
requested that Friedman review such disclosures and provide a
letter addressed to the Commission stating whether or not it agrees
with the statements made herein. Attached as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy
of Friedman’s letter addressed to the Commission relating to the
statements made by the Company in this Report on Form 6-K.
During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021 and
through the subsequent interim period to November 20, 2022,
neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted Marcum Asia
with respect to 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 Marcum Asia 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 with Friedman (as that term is used in Item 16F
(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F and the related instructions to Item 16F)
or a reportable event (as described in Item 16F (a)(1)(v) of Form
20-F).
