Open-market purchases and sales (Form 4 codes P and S) by officers, directors and 10% owners, by transaction date, from 2026-03-11 to 2026-07-09. Excludes option exercises, grants, gifts and tax withholding. Amended filings replace the originals; joint filings count once. Foreign private issuers do not file Form 4. Many insider sales are pre-scheduled (10b5-1 plans) and are not by themselves a sign of wrongdoing.

Verified excerpt

"As a result of the transaction, Assure has now ceased operations as a public accounting firm and resigned as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of June 3, 2026."

Quoted from the filing. Source

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 (audit-firm merger)
Disagreements reported: no
Former auditor: Assure CPA, LLC · New auditor: Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC

Why this score: routine: audit firm merged/was acquired
