Qudian Inc. announced the appointment of Marcum Asia CPAs LLP as its new independent registered public accounting firm, effective January 31, 2025. This appointment follows the revocation of BDO China Shu Lun Pan Certified Public Accountants LLP's engagement. BDO informed the company that it might not be able to complete audit work according to the proposed timetable due to internal resource constraints.
The company clarified that the revocation of BDO's appointment was not a result of any disagreement on accounting principles, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures. Marcum Asia will succeed Ernst & Young Hua Ming LLP, which previously served as the independent auditor.
Qudian's Audit Committee approved the appointment of Marcum Asia after careful consideration of additional candidates. The company is working with both EY and Marcum Asia to ensure a smooth transition of audit responsibilities.
