Auditor Changes week ending 17 May 2015
May 17, 2015 Leave a comment
The third annual Change Your Auditor Week was a success! The (mostly) tongue in cheek week celebrated all companies changing auditors, for whatever reason.
A number of odds and ends from this week’s filings to point out:
- Switzerland based MNP Petroleum let go of one version of BDO to engage the AG version
- After filing a couple weeks ago saying a reported auditor change was not authorized, Motivating the Masses engaged Anton & Chia, this time, presumably, with authorization
- Gaming Entertainment International accepted the resignation of Adams Advisory after Ms. Adams reconsidered her workload
- Tammy Skalko, CEO of House of Bods Fitness (also, “colleague of carmen Elektra”[sic]) had a difficult time securing a prudent auditor, but this week finally found one that is competent (just read the filing.)
- Hydrogen Future Corporation fired old auditor Thomas Bravos, and hired John Scrudato with possibly the shortest filing ever on the matter; just 47 words
