Cleantek Industries Inc. Announces Change of Auditors
Cleantek Industries announced a change in its auditing firm, with KPMG LLP not seeking reappointment for the 2025 fiscal year audit. The company has appointed MNP LLP as its new auditor, effective April 30, 2025.
The transition comes with a clean handover, as KPMG's previous audit reports contained no reservations for the two most recent fiscal years. Additionally, there were no reportable events, disagreements, consultations, or unresolved issues between Cleantek and KPMG as defined in National Instrument 51-102.
The change has received full approval from both Cleantek's audit committee and Board of Directors. All relevant documentation, including the notice of change and letters from both auditing firms, has been reviewed by the company's governance bodies and is available on www.sedarplus.ca.
Cleantek Industries ha annunciato un cambio nella società di revisione, con KPMG LLP che non si candiderà per la rielezione per la revisione del bilancio dell'anno fiscale 2025. La società ha nominato MNP LLP come nuovo revisore, a partire dal 30 aprile 2025.
La transizione avviene senza problemi, poiché i precedenti rapporti di revisione di KPMG non presentavano riserve per gli ultimi due anni fiscali. Inoltre, non sono stati segnalati eventi rilevanti, disaccordi, consultazioni o questioni irrisolte tra Cleantek e KPMG, come definito nello Strumento Nazionale 51-102.
Il cambiamento ha ricevuto piena approvazione sia dal comitato di revisione di Cleantek sia dal Consiglio di Amministrazione. Tutta la documentazione pertinente, inclusi l’avviso di cambiamento e le lettere di entrambe le società di revisione, è stata esaminata dagli organi di governance dell’azienda ed è disponibile su www.sedarplus.ca.
