Gold.com, Inc. Dismisses Auditor Grant Thornton

What Happened
Gold.com, Inc. announced on Form 8-K that its Audit Committee dismissed its independent registered public accounting firm, Grant Thornton LLP, effective September 14, 2026. Grant Thornton's audit reports for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2026 contained no adverse opinions, disclaimers, or qualifications. The company stated there were no disagreements with Grant Thornton on accounting principles, financial disclosure, or audit scope during those fiscal years or the interim period through September 14, 2026.

Key Details

• Dismissal date: September 14, 2026 (action taken by the Audit Committee).
• Prior audit reports (fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2026) were unmodified and contained no adverse opinions or disclaimers.
• Company reported no disagreements with Grant Thornton during the covered periods.
• Exhibits filed with the 8-K include Grant Thornton’s letter dated September 18, 2026 (Exhibit 16.1) and a company press release dated September 18, 2026 (Exhibit 99.1).

Why It Matters
A change of independent auditor is a notable governance event for investors because it can affect audit continuity, fees, and future audit reporting. In this case, the filing reports no audit disputes and unqualified prior-year audit reports, which reduces immediate red flags. Investors should watch for the company’s disclosure of a successor auditor and any further updates in future filings that could affect financial reporting or audit opinions.
