Agroz Inc. (AGRZ) names new auditor amid control weaknesses
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Agroz Inc. (AGRZ) reported a change in its independent auditor, terminating Marcum Asia CPAs LLP and appointing SFAI Malaysia PLT effective November 18, 2025. MarcumAsia’s audit reports for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 contained a going concern explanatory paragraph highlighting doubts about the company’s ability to continue operating, but no adverse opinions or scope or principle modifications.
The company states there were no disagreements with MarcumAsia on accounting, disclosure, or audit procedures and no reportable events other than previously disclosed material weaknesses. These weaknesses include inadequate IT general controls, insufficient IFRS and SEC reporting expertise, weak segregation of duties over sales and customer data, and a lack of formal internal control policies and independent oversight. Agroz also confirms it did not consult SFAI on accounting or audit matters before this appointment.

The company also reiterates previously disclosed material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, including ineffective IT general controls, limited IFRS and SEC reporting expertise, inadequate segregation of duties over sales and customer data, and the absence of formal internal control policies and independent supervision. These weaknesses can increase the risk of errors or misstatements in financial reporting until they are remediated.
Agroz notes there were no disagreements or additional reportable events with MarcumAsia beyond those weaknesses, and that it did not consult SFAI on specific accounting treatments or potential audit opinions before the appointment.
