Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Global AI, Inc. disclosed that its independent auditor, Chaikin, Cohen, Rubin & Co. (“CCR”), resigned effective March 10, 2026, citing internal considerations at CCR that were described as entirely unrelated to the company. The Board accepted the resignation on March 25, 2026.

CCR’s report on the company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 contained an explanatory paragraph about Global AI’s ability to continue as a going concern, but otherwise had no adverse opinion, disclaimer, or qualification. The company reports no disagreements or reportable events with CCR through the resignation date.

The Board engaged Barzily & Co. as the new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and later periods, effective March 18, 2026. Global AI states it did not previously consult Barzily on accounting principles, audit opinions, or any disagreements or reportable events.

Insights

Auditor change with prior going concern emphasis but no reported disputes.

Global AI, Inc. reports the resignation of auditor CCR, which had issued a prior going concern explanatory paragraph for the year ended December 31, 2024. The company attributes CCR’s departure to that firm’s internal considerations and notes the Board formally accepted the resignation.

The disclosure states there were no disagreements or reportable events under Regulation S-K Items 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v), which helps frame this as an administrative rather than dispute-driven change. However, the previously disclosed going concern emphasis underscores that liquidity and viability remained key issues as of the last audit.

The Board’s engagement of Barzily & Co. as the new auditor, without prior consultations on specific accounting treatments or anticipated opinions, suggests the incoming firm will independently assess Global AI’s reporting for the year ended December 31, 2025. Future audited financial statements will show whether the going concern emphasis continues or changes.

The report of CCR on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle, other than an explanatory paragraph relating to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company has provided CCR with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and has requested that CCR furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made in this Item 4.01(a). A copy of CCR’s letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
