Item 4.01.  Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant. 

 

On October 18, 2021, the Audit Committee, or the Committee, of Board of Directors of The Parking REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the engagement of Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”), as its independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately.  During the years ended December 31, 2019, December 31, 2020 and the subsequent interim period through October 18, 2021, the Company did not, nor did anyone on its behalf, consult with Deloitte with respect to (a) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our consolidated financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company that Deloitte concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue or (b) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

 

Contemporaneous with the Committee’s determination to engage Deloitte, the Committee dismissed RBSM LLP (“RBSM”), as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately.  The reports of RBSM on the Company’s financial statements for each of the two years ended December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2020, 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.  In connection with the audits of the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, and during the subsequent interim period through October 18, 2021, there were no “disagreements” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and related instructions) between the Company and RBSM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of RBSM would have caused RBSM to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their report.  During the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020 and the subsequent interim period through October 18, 2021, there were no “reportable events” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

 

The Company provided RBSM with a copy of the disclosures contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that RBSM furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements contained herein.  A copy of RBSM’s letter, dated October 19, 2021, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
