Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
Based on information provided by Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), the independent registered public accounting firm of Jerash Holdings (US), Inc. (the “Company”), on November 1, 2024, CBIZ CPAs P.C. (“CBIZ”) acquired the attest business of Marcum, and substantially all of the partners and staff that provided attestation services with Marcum joined CBIZ. On March 24, 2025, the Company was notified by Marcum that Marcum resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. On March 25, 2025, with the approval of the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, CBIZ was engaged as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
Marcum’s reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 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.
During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and through March 24, 2025, the date of Marcum’s resignation, there were (a) no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) with Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Marcum’s satisfaction, would have caused Marcum to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such periods and (b) no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions), except for the previously disclosed identification of material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, including: (i) the Company failed to maintain effective controls over period-end financial reporting, specifically related to income taxes and the reconciliation of account level balances that resulted in errors and (ii) there were ineffective information technology general controls in the areas of privileged user access and the review of user access over certain information technology systems that support the Company’s financial reporting processes.
Prior to engaging CBIZ, the Company did not consult with CBIZ regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction or regarding the type of audit opinions that might be rendered by CBIZ on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and CBIZ did not provide any written or oral advice that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any such accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue.
The Company provided Marcum with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and requested that Marcum furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC, pursuant to Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, stating whether it agrees with the above statements and, if it does not agree, the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter, dated March 27, 2025, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 (which is incorporated by reference herein) to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
