Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a) Dismissal of Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On February 21, 2025, Iveda Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed Kreit & Chiu CPA LLP (“Kreit”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately,
During the Company’s 2024 interim periods reviewed by Kreit through the date of this Current Report, the Company is of the opinion that: there were no (a) disagreements with Kreit on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Kreit’s satisfaction, would have caused Kreit to make reference to the subject matter thereof in connection with its report for such period; or (b) reportable events, as described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Kreit with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Report”) prior to the time the Report was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company requested that Kreit furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of Kreit’s letter, dated February 24, 2014, is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
(b) Appointment of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On February 21, 2025, after review and recommendation of the Committee, we appointed Weinberg & Company, P.A., Certified Public Accountants (“Weinberg”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm for and with respect to the year ending December 31, 2024 and 2023.
During the Company’s two most recently completed fiscal years and through the date of the Company’s appointment of Weinberg, the Company did not consult with Weinberg regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and no written or oral advice was provided by Weinberg that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or event, as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) or Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
