Eco Science Solutions Changes Auditors, Engages Dylan Floyd

What Happened

  • Eco Science Solutions, Inc. announced on August 10, 2026 that its Board, per the Audit Committee recommendation, dismissed Fruci & Associates II, PLLC as the company's independent registered public accounting firm and engaged Dylan Floyd Accounting & Consulting (PCAOB ID: 6235) as the new auditor, effective immediately. Dylan Floyd will perform reviews for the quarters ended July 31, 2026 and October 31, 2026 and will audit the fiscal year ending January 31, 2027.
  • Fruci’s audit reports for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2026 and January 31, 2025 contained no adverse opinions or disclaimers and were unmodified except for an explanatory paragraph about substantial doubt regarding the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The company disclosed that management identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting in its 2026 Form 10-K (Item 9A). Fruci’s letter to the SEC dated August 13, 2026 is filed as Exhibit 16.1.

Key Details

  • Date of auditor change: August 10, 2026 (Board approval and effective date).
  • New auditor: Dylan Floyd Accounting & Consulting (PCAOB ID: 6235) — to review Q1 and Q2 interim periods (ending July 31, 2026 and Oct 31, 2026) and audit FY ending Jan 31, 2027.
  • Prior auditor reports: Fruci’s reports for FYs ended Jan 31, 2026 and Jan 31, 2025 contained a going-concern explanatory paragraph but no adverse or qualified opinions.
  • Controls disclosure: Management identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting (disclosed in the FY2026 Form 10‑K, Item 9A).

Why It Matters

  • Auditor changes are material corporate governance events that investors watch because they affect financial statement oversight and audit continuity. The prior auditor flagged substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and the company has disclosed material weaknesses in internal controls — both are important for assessing financial risk and the reliability of reported results.
  • The new auditor will handle upcoming interim reviews and the FY2027 audit; investors should monitor the company’s future filings for any changes in audit scope, audit opinions, remediation of control weaknesses, and management commentary on going-concern risk.
