In a recent development, Corner Growth Acquisition Corp. (the "Company"), a blank check company, has announced a change in its independent registered public accounting firm. On September 26, 2024, the Company dismissed Marcum LLP and appointed Victor Mokuolu, CPA PLLC (VMCPA) as its new certifying accountant. This decision, which came into effect on October 2, 2024, was approved by the Company's Board of Directors.
The reports from Marcum on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, were unqualified. However, Marcum's report dated April 1, 2024, included a statement expressing substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
During the fiscal years mentioned and the subsequent interim period through September 26, 2024, there were no disagreements between the Company and Marcum on accounting principles, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure that would have required Marcum to report such disagreements.
However, material weaknesses in internal controls were identified, particularly concerning the accounting for complex financial instruments, recording and disclosure of liabilities and related expenses, and communication of material agreements by executive management.
The Company has provided Marcum with the disclosures and has received a letter from Marcum addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission, dated September 30, 2024, confirming their agreement with the statements made by the Company.
