SharonAI dismisses HoganTaylor as auditor, hires Ernst & Young for 2026 audit
SharonAI Holdings told the SEC that HoganTaylor LLP will no longer serve as its independent auditor and that Ernst & Young was engaged for the fiscal 2026 audit. The filing says HoganTaylor's prior audit reports for 2025 and 2024 contained no adverse opinion, disclaimer, or qualification, and it reports no disagreements with HoganTaylor, apart from a material weakness HoganTaylor identified in the 2025 annual report. An auditor change alone does not change reported results, but shareholders may watch the new auditor's work on the upcoming 10-Q and 10-K filings given the disclosed weakness.
Key points
- HoganTaylor was informed on September 20, 2026 that it will not continue as auditor; the Audit Committee approved EY's engagement effective September 23, 2026.
- HoganTaylor's reports on 2025 and 2024 financial statements had no adverse opinion, disclaimer, or qualification.
- The filing discloses one reportable event: a material weakness HoganTaylor identified, as disclosed in the Form 10-K filed March 31, 2026.
- HoganTaylor's response letter dated September 23, 2026 is attached as Exhibit 16.1.
