Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

  

On June 29, 2023, Trident Brands Incorporated (the “Company) received a written notification dated June 20, 2023 from Malone Bailey, LLP  (“Malone”), its independent registered public accounting firm, to the effect that it has resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

 

During the Company's two most recent fiscal years for which an audit was completed, Malone’s report on the financial statements of the Company did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that in each of 2020 and 2021, Malone’s opinion contained a “going concern” qualification. The audit of the Company’s 2022 financial statements was not completed.  

 

During the  Company's  two most recent  fiscal years and the interim period prior to Malone’s resignation, there were no disagreements with Malone on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Malone, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report.

 

With respect to both the 2020 and 2021 financial statements, Malone advised the Company that the internal controls necessary for the Company to develop reliable financial statements did not exist.  The audit of the Company’s 2022 financial statements was not completed. The Company’s board of directors discussed with Malone that the internal controls necessary for the Company to develop reliable financial statements did not exist.  The Company has authorized Malone to respond fully to the inquiries of the successor accountant concerning the Company’s internal controls.

 

The Company’s Board of Directors has accepted Malone’s resignation.

 

As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company’s Board of Directors has not yet engaged  a new independent registered public accounting firm. The Company is currently in the process of selecting it’s a new independent registered public accounting firm. The Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K once it engages a new independent registered public accounting firm.
