Barrel Energy Inc. 8-K

What Happened
Barrel Energy Inc. (the "Company") filed an 8-K on May 6, 2026 disclosing a change in its independent registered public accounting firm. On April 28, 2026 the Company dismissed Fruci & Associates II, PLLC, which had served as auditor for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and had provided audit/review work for prior filings. On April 21, 2026 the Company engaged Shah Teelani & Associates Chartered Accountants (Ahmedabad, India) to audit the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 required in connection with the Company’s previously filed Form 10 (filed Feb 23, 2026).

Key Details

• Dismissal date: April 28, 2026 — Fruci & Associates II, PLLC had audited fiscal year 2025 and provided audit/review services for prior filings.
• Engagement date: April 21, 2026 — Shah Teelani & Associates retained to audit FY2025 financial statements for the Company’s Form 10.
• The Company reported no disagreements or reportable events with Fruci & Associates II for fiscal years 2023–2024 or through the dismissal date.
• The Company requested a letter from Fruci & Associates II confirming the statements in the 8-K; that letter was not received at filing and will be filed by amendment (Exhibit 16.1).

Why It Matters
A change of independent auditor affects how and who will complete the Company’s audited financial statements, which are necessary for SEC reporting and for investors assessing financial reliability. The filing states there were no disagreements with the prior auditor, and the new auditor has not been previously consulted on accounting matters for the Company. Investors should watch for the auditor’s confirmation letter (to be filed by amendment) and the completion and filing of the FY2025 audited financial statements by Shah Teelani & Associates.
