Dominari Holdings Inc. 8-K

What Happened

• Dominari Holdings Inc. filed an 8‑K on June 26, 2026 reporting that, with Audit Committee approval, it dismissed CBIZ CPAs P.C. as its independent registered public accounting firm on June 24, 2026 and engaged Grassi & Co., CPAs, P.C. as its new auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.
• The company noted that CBIZ CPAs’ reports for the period from April 25, 2025 (when CBIZ was appointed following the prior dismissal of Marcum LLP) through its dismissal were unmodified (no adverse opinion, disclaimer or qualification), and there were no auditor–company disagreements. CBIZ CPAs provided a letter dated June 26, 2026, which is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the 8‑K.

Key Details

• Date of auditor change: CBIZ CPAs dismissed and Grassi & Co. engaged on June 24, 2026; 8‑K filed June 26, 2026.
• Prior auditor history: Marcum LLP was dismissed April 25, 2025; CBIZ CPAs was appointed then and served through June 24, 2026.
• Material weaknesses identified by CBIZ CPAs during its engagement period include: (1) insufficient personnel to close books timely and accurately, (2) inadequate review over accounting for certain fair‑value transactions, (3) lack of appropriate segregation of duties, (4) IT general control deficiencies related to user access provisioning and admin access review, and (5) insufficient documentation evidencing design and implementation of controls.
• No consultations or reportable disagreements were made with Grassi & Co. prior to its engagement.

Why It Matters

• A change in independent auditors plus the disclosure of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting are important signals about the company’s financial reporting processes. While the prior auditor’s reports were unmodified and there were no reported disagreements, the listed weaknesses indicate areas the company must address to strengthen reporting reliability.
• Investors should monitor Dominari’s disclosures for remediation plans, updates from the new auditor (Grassi & Co.), and any impacts on the timing or content of future financial filings.
