ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
On January 6, 2022, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Fourth Wave Energy,
Inc., (the "Company") dismissed MaloneBailey, LLP ("MB") as the Company's
independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of such date, and
engaged M&K CPAS, PLLC ("M&K") as the Company's independent registered public
accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2021.
The audit reports of MB on the financial statements of the Company for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 did not contain an
adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as
to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles except that they each
contained an explanatory paragraph disclosing uncertainty regarding the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
During the Company's fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019
and during the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2021 through January 6,
2022, (i) there were no disagreements with MB on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or
procedures that, if not resolved to MB's satisfaction, would have caused MB to
make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its
reports and (ii) there were no "reportable events" as defined in Item
304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided MB with a copy of this Report prior to its filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Company requested that MB
furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange
Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Registrant
in this Report respecting MB and, if not, stating the respects in which it does
not agree. The letter from MB is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and during
the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2021 through January 6, 2022,
neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted M&K 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 financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice
was provided to the Company that M&K 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" or a "reportable event", each as defined in Regulation S-K Item
304(a)(1)(iv) and 304(a)(1)(v), respectively.
