Item 4.01.    Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
(a)
Dismissal of Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On June 27, 2023, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Travelzoo, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board, dismissed RSM US LLP ("RSM") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.
The reports of RSM on the Company's financial statements for each of the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the Company's two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and the subsequent interim period through June 27, 2023, there were no "disagreements" (as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act ("Regulation S-K") and the related instructions thereto) with RSM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of RSM, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports.
In connection with the audit of the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, there was one "reportable event" (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K) related to a material weakness in the Company's internal control over financial reporting, as disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the "Form 10-K"). As disclosed in Item 9A to the Form 10-K, the Company's management concluded that as of December 31, 2022, certain of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, related to the financial reporting and disclosure of non-routine, non-recurring, unusual and complex transactions. Specifically, the Company did not have internal financial staff with sufficient specific expertise to ensure complete and timely financial reporting and disclosures related to technical and complex accounting transactions. However, after giving full consideration to the material weakness, management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K were prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company believes that it has made progress towards remediation and continues to implement the remediation plan in preparation for the next non-routine, non-recurring, unusual or complex transaction. RSM provided written communication to the Audit Committee regarding this material weakness and the subject matter of this material weakness was discussed by the Company's management and the Audit Committee with RSM. The Audit Committee has authorized RSM to respond fully to the inquiries of the successor independent registered public accounting firm concerning this material weakness.
