Item 4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
GEE Group Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE American: JOB) was notified that effective June 1, 2022, Dixon Hughes Goodman LLP (“DHG”), the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, merged with BKD, LLP (“BKD”), and the combined firm now operates under the name FORVIS, LLP (“FORVIS”). As a result of this transaction, on June 1, 2022, FORVIS, as the successor to DHG, now serves as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company. Concurrently, the Company’s audit committee approved the engagement of FORVIS as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company.
DHG had not yet issued an audit report on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022. There had been no disagreements with DHG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, from the time of DHG’s engagement up to June 1, 2022, that if not resolved to DHG’s satisfaction, would have caused DHG to make reference in connection with its opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement.
During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and the subsequent interim periods through March 31, 2022, there were no “reportable events,” as defined in Item 304(a) (1) (v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided FORVIS, as successor to DHG, with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that FORVIS furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of FORVIS’ letter dated June 3, 2022, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.
