ZenaTech, Inc. has made a significant change in its financial oversight by appointing a new independent registered public accounting firm. The company has dismissed Bansal & Co. LLP and engaged Mercurius & Associates LLP, effective October 23, 2026. This change is crucial for ZenaTech as it aims to strengthen its financial reporting and compliance.

ZenaTech, Inc., classified under the SIC code 7372, specializes in prepackaged software. The company is traded on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol ZENA. As a non-accelerated filer and an emerging growth company, ZenaTech is navigating the complexities of the financial landscape, making this transition particularly noteworthy.

The recent filing indicates that Bansal & Co. LLP's engagement did not extend beyond June 30, 2026. Notably, Bansal's reports on ZenaTech's consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, did not contain any adverse opinions or disclaimers. The filing states, "There were no disagreements with Bansal... on any matter of accounting principles or practices." This smooth transition suggests a strategic move rather than a response to any significant issues.

This change in auditors could affect various stakeholders, including investors, regulatory bodies, and the company's management team. Enhanced scrutiny from a new accounting firm may lead to improved financial practices and transparency, which could bolster investor confidence in ZenaTech.

Looking ahead, ZenaTech's next steps remain unclear in the filing. There is no indication of upcoming votes or additional filings related to this transition. The company appears focused on ensuring a seamless transition to Mercurius & Associates LLP, which will be crucial for maintaining its financial integrity.
