Item 4.01 Change in Issuer’s Certifying Accountant.
Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On October 20, 2022, Masterworks 002, LLC (the “Company”) dismissed LitmanGerson Associates, LLP (“LGA”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, which was approved by the board of managers of the Company.
The audit report of LGA on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through the date of this Report, there were (i) no disagreements between the Company and LGA on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures which, if not resolved to LGA’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report, and (ii) there were no “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided LGA with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested it to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether LGA agrees with the statements made by the Company in the foregoing disclosures. A copy of the letter has been filed as Exhibit 9.1 to this report.
Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On October 20, 2022, the Company engaged AGD Legal, SC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, which was approved by the board of managers of the Company.
During the two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through the date of this Report, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with AGD Legal, SC regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that AGD Legal, SC concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” or a “reportable event,” as such terms are defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v), respectively.
