Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On September 23, 2013, Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell, P.C. (“HBM”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of SecureAlert, Inc. (the “Company”). HBM recently entered into an agreement with Eide Bailly LLP (“Eide Bailly”), pursuant to which Eide Bailly acquired the operations of HBM, and certain of the professional staff and partners of HBM joined Eide Bailly either as employees or partners of Eide Bailly and will continue to practice as members of Eide Bailly. Concurrent with the resignation of HBM, the Company, through and with the approval of its Audit Committee, engaged Eide Bailly as its independent registered public accounting firm.
Prior to engaging Eide Bailly, the Company did not consult with Eide Bailly regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction or regarding the type of audit opinions that might be rendered by Eide Bailly on the Company’s financial statements, and Eide Bailly did not provide any written or oral advice that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any such accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue.
The reports of HBM regarding the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 contained a going concern note. Other than the foregoing, the reports of HBM did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, and during the period from September 30, 2012 through September 23, 2013, the date of resignation, there were no disagreements with HBM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of HBM would have caused it to make reference to such disagreement in its reports.
The Company provided HBM with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and requested that HBM furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether is agrees with above statements and, if it does not agree, the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter, dated September 24, 2013, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 (which is incorporated by reference herein) to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
