Insights

QuoteMedia replaces its auditor with no reported disputes or issues.

QuoteMedia, Inc. dismissed MNP LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm and appointed GreenGrowth CPAs, with both decisions approved by the audit committee. The filing states that MNP’s reports for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were clean, without adverse opinions or qualifications.

The company also reports no disagreements or reportable events with MNP over those years, and MNP sent a letter to the SEC agreeing with the company’s description.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits Exhibits
Financial statements, pro forma financial information, and exhibit attachments filed with this report.
independent registered public accounting firm financial
"dismissed MNP LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm"
An independent registered public accounting firm is an outside accounting company officially registered with the government regulator to examine and report on a public company's financial records and controls. Investors treat its reports like an impartial inspector’s certificate — they add credibility to financial statements, help spot errors or misleading claims, and reduce the risk that shareholders are relying on unchecked or biased numbers.
audit committee financial
"The dismissal was approved by the audit committee of the Company’s board"
A company's audit committee is a small group of board members who act like independent inspectors for the firm's finances, overseeing how financial reports are prepared, monitoring internal controls, and managing the relationship with external auditors. Investors care because a strong audit committee reduces the risk of accounting errors, fraud, or misleading statements, making financial statements more trustworthy and helping protect shareholder value.
reportable events regulatory
"or (ii) reportable events (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K)"
Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K regulatory
"disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K"
Emerging growth company regulatory
"Emerging growth company"
An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.
