Item 4
.01
Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
On September
18, 2017, Celsion Corporation (the "Company") with the approval of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Audit Committee") dismissed
Dixon Hughes Goodman LLP ("DHG") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm and appointed
WithumSmith+Brown, PC ("Withum") as the Company's new independent registered public accounting firm.
The reports of
DHG on the Company's financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and Stegman and Company ("Stegman") for the year ended December 31, 2015 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles, except that DHG's report for the year ended December 31, 2016 contained a paragraph stating that there was substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company previously reported on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 1, 2016 that, effective June 1, 2016, substantially all directors and employees of Stegman joined DHG.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the subsequent period through September
18, 2017 there were no disagreements with DHG or Stegman 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 DHG or Stegman would have caused DHG or Stegman to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in their respective reports. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the subsequent period through September 18, 2017, there have been no reportable events (as defined in Regulation S-K 304(a)(1)(v)).
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the subsequent interim period through September
18, 2017, the date of DHG's dismissal, neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted Withum regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the registrant's financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching its decision as to an accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
In accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Company provided DHG
and Stegman with a copy of the statements set forth above prior to the time this Current Report on Form 8-K was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company requested that DHG and Stegman furnish the Company with letters addressed to the SEC stating whether DHG and Stegman agree with the above statements. DHG and Stegman have furnished the requested letters, and they are attached as exhibits to this report.
