Item 4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On May 10, 2022, by mutual agreement, BDO USA LLP (“BDO”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm for BM Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”).
BDO’s audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles. BDO’s audit report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 contained an emphasis of matter regarding a customer concentration.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the subsequent interim period through the date of this report, there were no disagreements, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, between the Company and BDO on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to BDO’s satisfaction, would have caused BDO to make reference to such disagreements in its audit reports.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the subsequent interim period through the date of this report, there were no reportable events within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K except, as previously disclosed, for certain material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting attributable to its Control Environment and Monitoring Activities and Control Activities and Information and Communication for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. These material weaknesses were discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company and plans have been implemented to remediate these material weaknesses by the end of the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company has authorized BDO to respond fully to inquiries of the successor independent registered public accounting firm concerning these material weaknesses.
The Company provided BDO with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Form 8-K and requested that BDO furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements herein. A copy of BDO’s letter, dated May 16, 2022, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
