independent registered public accounting firm financial
"resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of Waste Energy Corp."
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.
reportable events regulatory
"there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K"
Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K regulatory
"no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) 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.
Audit Committee financial
"the Audit Committee and Board of Directors approved the engagement of M&K CPAs, PLLC"
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.

Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

On May 19, 2026, Integrität Audit, Accounting & Advisory, LLC (“Integrität”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of Waste Energy Corp. (the “Company”).

 

Because Integrität was engaged to audit the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and did not complete the audit, Integrität has not issued an audit report on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

 

During the period from Integrität’s engagement through the date of its resignation, there were no disagreements between the Company and Integrität on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Integrität’s satisfaction, would have caused Integrität to make reference thereto in its report on the financial statements.

 

During the same period, there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company provided Integrität with a copy of the disclosures contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that Integrität furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of Integrität’s letter will be filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
