ITEM 4.01—CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
On January 4, 2021, the board of directors of Investview, Inc., dismissed Haynie & Company from its position as the independent registered public accountant engaged to audit Investview’s financial statements for the year ending March 31, 2021.
The reports of Haynie & Company on our financial statements consisting of the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles except to indicate that there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
In connection with our most recent two fiscal year audits and any subsequent interim period preceding the resignation of Haynie & Company, there were no disagreements with Haynie & Company or reportable events on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the former accountant, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report.
We have provided Haynie & Company with a copy of the disclosures we are making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and have requested that Haynie & Company furnish us with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by us in this report and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter from Haynie & Company addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission dated January 5, 2021, is filed as Exhibit 16.01 to this report.
On January 4, 2021, our board of directors engaged MaloneBailey, LLP as our registered public accounting firm to report on our financial statements for the year ending March 31, 2021.
No consultations occurred between us and MaloneBailey, LLP during the two most recent fiscal years and through January 4, 2021, regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to us that MaloneBailey, LLP concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of disagreement or a reportable event requiring disclosure under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
