Auditor Changes week ending 28 Jun 2015

A lot of Terry Johnson’s former clients have mentioned he’s no longer permitted to do SEC audits. Baltia Airlines was kind enough to say TJ resigned as auditor, “for personal reasons.”

Anton & Chia has picked up a lot of clients recently, both through organic growth and acquisition. This week’s filing by CME Realty mentions Anton bought the practice of Messineo & Co. The growth continues.
