Insights

Public company accounting expert

Company replaces its auditor and backfills audits for multiple years.

Sharing Economy International Inc. disclosed that its board accepted the resignation of Olayinka Oyebola & Co. and appointed Lao Professionals as the new independent registered public accountant. Lao is engaged to audit fiscal years 2022–2025 and review specified quarters.

The company emphasized it had not previously consulted Lao on accounting treatments, audit opinions, or issues involving disagreements or reportable events with the former auditor. This language is designed to indicate there were no pre-arranged views with the new firm on sensitive accounting matters.

Because Lao will audit several past fiscal years and quarters, forthcoming audited financial statements for 2022 through 2025 may clarify the company’s historical results. Subsequent periodic reports will show how Lao evaluates prior-period accounting and disclosure, which can matter for investors assessing reporting consistency.
