Item 4.01 Changes in Registrants Certifying Accountant
On November 24, 2008 Maxim TEP, Inc. filed a Form 8-K report announcing the dismissal of Pannell Kerr Forster of Texas, P.C. (PKF) as its independent registered public accounting firm as approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and the engagement of M&K CPAS, PLLC of Houston, Texas (MKA) to assume the role of its new principal independent accountants. On November 25, 2008 Maxim TEP, Inc. filed an amendment to its Form 8-K. filing stating that the Company was evaluating several qualified registered independent public accounting firms as their replacement which the Company expects to make a selection in the near term. The reason was that the company had not finalized a formal agreement with MKA and continued to interview other prospective qualified registered independent public accounting firms in the process.
As of December 3, 2008, The Company has entered into a formal engagement agreement with M&K CPAS, PLLC of Houston, Texas (MKA) to assume the role of its new principal independent accountants. The decision to engage MKA was approved by the audit committee of the Board of Directors on December 2, 2008.
During the periods ended December 31, 2006 through 2007 and the subsequent interim period ended September 30, 2008, and through the date of the firms engagement the Registrant did not consult with MKA with regard to:
(1) | The application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Registrants financial statements; or |
(2) | Any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a) (1) (iv) of Regulation S-B. |
