Item
4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a)
Dismissal of Certifying Accountant.
On
July 19, 2024, Powerfleet, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed Ernst & Young LLP (the “Former Auditor”)
as its independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Audit
Committee”) approved the dismissal of the Former Auditor and the appointment of the Company’s new certifying accountant.
The dismissal will be effective upon the filing of the Company’s Transition Report on Form 10-KT for the transition period from
January 1, 2024 to March 31, 2024.
The
Former Auditor’s report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for each of the preceding two years neither contained
an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were the reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
principles, except that the audit report of the Former Auditor on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for
the year ended December 31, 2023 contained an explanatory paragraph related to the restatement of the 2022 and 2021 consolidated financial
statements.
During
the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through July 19, 2024, (i) the Company did
not have any disagreements within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation
S-K with the Former Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the Former Auditor, would have caused the Former Auditor to make
reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the Company’s financial statements for such
years, and (ii) there were no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except for (a)
the Former Auditor’s communication of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023
related to the design and operation of controls related to the determination of standalone selling price, capitalized software, the Movingdots
GmbH business combination, valuation of goodwill, measurement and valuation of the convertible redeemable preferred stock and the financial
statement close process, which included the information technology general controls in the areas of user access and change management
over key information technology systems that support the Company’s financial reporting processes, the related process-level information
technology dependent manual controls and application controls; and (b) the Former Auditor’s communication of material weaknesses
in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 related to the determination of standalone selling price, capitalized
software costs and the financial statement close process.
The
Company provided a copy of the disclosures herein as required by Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K to the Former Auditor and requested that
it furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the disclosures
the Company makes herein. A copy of the Former Auditor’s letter, dated July 24, 2024, is attached as Exhibit 16.1.
(b)
Appointment of New Certifying Accountant.
On
July 19, 2024, the Company appointed Deloitte & Touche, the incumbent auditor of MiX Telematics Ltd., the Company’s
wholly owned subsidiary, as its independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, subject
to satisfactory completion of Deloitte & Touche’s client acceptance procedures, which are in the process of being completed.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period preceding the engagement, neither the Company
nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted Deloitte & Touche regarding (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 consolidated financial
statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Deloitte concluded was an important factor
considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue, (ii) any matter that was
subject to a disagreement within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or (iii) any “reportable event” within
the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Commissioners:
We
have read Item 4.01 of Form 8-K dated July 24, 2024 of Powerfleet, Inc. (the “Company”) and are in agreement
with the statements contained in the last sentence of the first paragraph and in paragraphs two through four under (a) Dismissal
of Certifying Accountant on page 2 therein.
We
disagree with the first sentence of the first paragraph insofar as it asserts the Company dismissed Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”)
on July 19, 2024. The Company informed us on July 12, 2024 that its Audit Committee had met on July 8, 2024 and had determined to dismiss
EY, effective upon completion of the audit for the Company’s financial statements as of and for the three month period ended March
31, 2024.
We have
no basis to agree or disagree with other statements of the Company contained therein.

Ernst & Young LLP
