Marcum
Bernstein & Pinchuk LLP (“MBP”), Fincera
Inc.’s (the “Company”) prior independent
registered public accounting firm, had previously issued
unqualified audit opinions on the Company’s financial
statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018, and
determined that the Company maintained, in all material respects,
effective internal control over financial reporting
(“ICFR”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2018.
On
December 31, 2019, the Company received a letter (included as
exhibit to this Form 6-K) from MBP indicating that these audit
reports for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018 with respect
to the audits of the financial statements and the ICFR, as included
in the Company’s Forms 20-F filed on April 30, 2018 and May
1, 2019, and Form 20-F/A filed on May 30, 2019, should no longer be
relied upon.
In
October 2019, MBP had determined that certain auditing procedures
were omitted in connection with the audits of the financial
statements and the ICFR. Since November 11, 2019, MBP had been
planning and performing these omitted procedures. Due to the
previously announced investigation by the Shijiazhuang Municipal
Public Security Bureau that commenced on December 13, 2019, to date
MBP has been unable to complete certain additional procedures
pursuant to the relevant auditing standards since the investigation
has prevented access to the Company’s files and records. The
Company is trying to contact the Shijiazhuang Municipal Public
Security Bureau regarding this matter and does not yet know if and
when access to its files and records will be restored.
As a
result, MBP has decided it would be most prudent to withdraw its
audit opinions for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018 until
at least which time as those additional procedures can be
performed. The Audit Committee of the Company has discussed these
matters with MBP.
