Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

 

On July 10, 2023, the Audit Committee of Aclarion, Inc. (the “Company”) was notified by CohnReznick LLP (“CohnReznick”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, of its decision to resign as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company effective upon the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. CohnReznick will remain engaged by the Company to complete its review of the Company’s interim financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

 

The Company is in the process of selecting a new independent registered public accounting firm.

 

The Company engaged CohnReznick as its independent registered public accounting firm on May 15, 2023 (the “Engagement Date”), following the completion of a business combination agreement with CohnReznick and Daszkal Bolton LLP (“Daszkal”). Daszkal had served as the Company’s auditor since 2021. Since the Engagement Date and through the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, there were (i) no disagreements (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and CohnReznick on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to CohnReznick’s satisfaction, would have caused CohnReznick to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements for such period; and (ii) no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except that CohnReznick advised the Company of material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023.

 

CohnReznick is not required to and did not seek the Company’s consent to its decision to resign as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. As a result, neither the Company’s Board of Directors nor the Audit Committee took part in CohnReznick’s decision to resign.

 

The Company provided CohnReznick with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that CohnReznick furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether CohnReznick agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of CohnReznick’s letter dated July 14, 2023, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 attached hereto.
