Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

On October 31, 2022, the Board of Directors of Leader Capital Holdings Corp. (the "Company") approved the engagement of YCY CPAS PLLC ("YCY") as its independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, subject to YCY's completion of their client acceptance procedures. On the same day, the Board of Directors approved the dismissal of Centurion ZD CPA & Co. ("Centurion") as independent registered public accounting firm of the Company effective immediately.

The reports of Centurion on the financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended August 31, 2021 and 2020 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle, except for an explanatory paragraph in such reports regarding substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

For the years ended August 31, 2021 and 2020, and through the interim period ended October 31, 2022, the Company had no "disagreements" (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) with Centurion 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 Centurion, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in its audit reports.

For the years ended August 31, 2021 and 2020, and through the interim period ended October 31, 2022, there was one "reportable event" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, relating to disclosure of material weaknesses in the Company's internal control over financial reporting. As previously reported, the management of the Company identified following material weaknesses as of August 31, 2021: (i) the Company does not have an audit committee; (ii) the Company does not maintain adequate written policies and procedures; (iii) the Company did not implement appropriate information technology controls; and (iv) the Company does not have sufficient and skilled accounting personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge and experience in the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States commensurate with the Company's financial reporting requirements

The Company has provided Centurion with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Form 8-K and requested that Centurion furnish the Company a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of Centurion's letter, dated November 1, 2022 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
