What this means

The company changed its outside auditor (8-K Item 4.01). A dismissal or resignation, especially near an annual report or with reported disagreements, is a warning sign. Changes caused by audit firms merging are usually routine.

Type: routine (post-merger auditor consolidation)
Disagreements reported: no

Why this score: routine: auditor replaced after company merger/SPAC deal; also within 90 days: Going-concern doubt
