Audit and governance analyst

9F switches auditors with no reported disagreements but keeps noted control weaknesses.

9F Inc. replaced Wei, Wei & Co., LLP with Marcum Asia CPAs LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm, effective September 16, 2025, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The company states that Wei, Wei & Co.’s audit reports for 2023 and 2024 had no adverse opinions, disclaimers, or qualifications.

The company also states there were no disagreements with the former auditor on accounting principles, financial disclosures, or audit scope, and no reportable events beyond existing material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. These weaknesses involve limited U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting expertise, gaps in documentation for certain accounting transactions and investment valuations, and insufficient policies for complex financial instruments.

The change in auditor itself is administrative, while the internal control issues highlight areas of financial reporting risk that may require remediation over future reporting periods, according to how the company has described its control environment.
