CareCloud Announces Potential Resignation of its Audit Firm

Rhea-AI Summary

CareCloud (Nasdaq: CCLD), an AI-driven healthcare technology solutions provider, announced that its current independent registered public accounting firm may resign if the company requires an Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICFR) attestation for fiscal year 2025.

The requirement for ICFR attestation will be determined by CareCloud's public float as of June 30, 2025. If it reaches or exceeds $75 million, the company will be classified as an accelerated filer, necessitating the attestation under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The current audit firm has stated it lacks capacity for ICFR attestation, which would require CareCloud to engage a new accounting firm as SEC rules mandate the same firm conduct both financial statement audit and ICFR attestation.

Positive

• Proactive disclosure of potential audit firm changes
• Company maintains compliance awareness with SEC regulations

Negative

• Potential disruption in audit services if current firm resigns
• Risk of additional costs and complexity in transitioning to a new audit firm
• Possible indication of company growth leading to increased regulatory requirements

SOMERSET, N.J., June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CareCloud, Inc. (Nasdaq: CCLD, CCLDO) (“CareCloud” or the “Company”), a leader in AI-driven healthcare technology solutions for medical practices and health systems nationwide, today announced that its current independent registered public accounting firm may resign if an ICFR auditor attestation of the Company’s Internal Control over Financial Reporting (“ICFR”) under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act is required for fiscal year 2025.

Our audit firm has informed the Company that it does not have the capacity to perform an ICFR attestation. Under SEC rules, the same audit firm must conduct both the financial statement audit and the ICFR attestation. Therefore, if an ICFR attestation becomes necessary, the audit firm would be unable to fulfill the full scope of the required audit services, and CareCloud would need to engage a new independent registered public accounting firm.

The requirement for an ICFR attestation will be determined based on CareCloud’s public float amount as of the close of trading on June 30, 2025. If the public float equals or exceeds $75 million, CareCloud would be classified as an accelerated filer, triggering the ICFR attestation requirement under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

CareCloud will provide an update on July 1, 2025, following the determination of its public float and any resulting impact on its audit arrangements.
