Monitor the next quarterly filing (Q2 2026) and the 10-K for FY 2026 for any material weaknesses, restatements, or audit opinion changes that could surface under the new auditor. Auditor changes without stated disagreements can still precede financial reporting issues; watch for insider selling or delayed filings.

Executive Summary
AudioEye dismissed its independent auditor, MaloneBailey, LLP, effective May 26, 2026, and engaged RSM US LLP as its new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. The change was approved by the Audit Committee, and the filing states there were no disagreements or reportable events with the former auditor. While no accounting disagreements were disclosed, a change in auditor, especially from a smaller firm to RSM (a larger non-Big 4 firm), warrants close monitoring for potential underlying issues that may emerge in future filings.
