| Item 4.01. | Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant. |
On September 30, 2014, our Board of Directors approved the dismissal of Scott and Company LLC (referred to as Scott) as our independent registered public accounting firm and the Company notified Scott of its dismissal.
In connection with the audits of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the subsequent interim periods through September 30, 2014, there were no disagreements with Scott on any matter of accounting principle or practice, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures which disagreements, if not resolved to Scott’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their reports. Similarly, none of the reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred during the time that Scott was engaged as our independent registered accounting firm.
The audit reports of Scott on the consolidated financial statements of FlexShopper, Inc. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
Effective September 30, 2014, our Board of Directors approved the appointment of Eisner Amper LLP (referred to as Eisner) as our independent registered public accounting firm. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and through September 30, 2014, we did not nor did anyone acting on our behalf, consult Eisner regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, or any reportable events described under Item 304(a)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
We provided a copy of the above disclosures to Scott and requested Scott to provide us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not Scott agrees with the disclosures. A copy of Scott’s letter, dated October 3, 2014, confirming its agreement with the disclosures in this Item 4.01 is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
