Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

On May 6, 2024, we dismissed BF Borgers CPA PC (“Borgers”) as our independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to dismiss Borgers was approved by our board of directors on May 6, 2024.

 

On May 3, 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) entered an order instituting settled administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings against BF Borgers and its sole audit partner, Benjamin F. Borgers CPA, permanently barring Mr. Borgers and BF Borgers from appearing or practicing before the Commission as an accountant (the “Order”). As a result of the Order, BF Borgers may no longer serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for Australian Oilseeds Holdings Limited (“Australian Oilseeds”), nor can BF Borgers issue any audit reports included in Commission filings or provide consents with respect to audit reports. In light of the Order, on May 6, 2024, the Board of Directors of Australian Oilseeds terminated the engagement of BF Borgers as its independent registered accounting firm.

 

BF Borgers’s reports on Australian Oilseeds’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

There have been no “disagreements” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) and no “reportable event” occurred (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K) during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the subsequent interim period up to and including May 6, 2024, the date of BF Borgers’s dismissal, between Australian Oilseeds and BF Borgers on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BF Borgers, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their report on Australian Oilseeds’s financial statements for those periods.

 

In the May 3, 2024 “Staff Statement on the Issuer Disclosure and Reporting Obligations in Light of Rule 102(e) Order Against BF Borgers CPA PC” (the “Staff Statement”), the Commission advised registrants that they may indicate in their Commission filing that BF Borgers is not currently permitted to appear or practice before the Commission for reasons described in the Order, in lieu of including a letter from BF Borgers stating whether it agrees with our disclosures under Item 304 of Regulation S-K. In light of the Order and the Staff Statement, we are not requesting BF Borgers to furnish the Company with such letter.

 

Given that Borgers is not currently permitted to appear or practice before the Commission, we have not sought and are not including the letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made above by the Registrant.

 

Australian Oilseeds has commenced a search for a new independent registered public accounting firm and at such time as a new firm is formally engaged, the Company will file a Form 8-K disclosing such appointment.
