Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

(a) On October 4, 2019, Sharing Economy International Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), notified MaloneBailey LLP (“MaloneBailey”), that the Company had dismissed MaloneBailey as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company recommended and approved the dismissal.

MaloneBailey's services performed were limited to a review of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2019. MaloneBailey did not provide any reports regarding the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 and the statement of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended.

During the subsequent interim period through the date of dismissal, the Company had no disagreement with MaloneBailey on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. There were no reportable events, as listed in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company provided MaloneBailey a copy of the above disclosures and requested MaloneBailey to furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. MaloneBailey’s response is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

(b) On October 2, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to engage the independent registered public accounting firm of Exelient PAC (“Exelient”), the Company’s new independent registered public accountants, which appointment Exelient has accepted.

During the two most recent fiscal years and the interim period preceding the engagement of Exelient, the Company has not consulted with Exelient regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered by Exelient or (iii) any other matter that was the subject of disagreement between the Company and its former auditor as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv), or a reportable event as described in paragraph 304(a)(1)(v), of Regulation S-K. The Company did not have any disagreements with RBSM and therefore did not discuss any past disagreements with Exelient.
