Monitor for any subsequent 8-K filings under Item 4.02 (non-reliance) or Item 2.05 (restructuring), which would confirm the auditor change was a precursor to financial problems. The switch to a small foreign auditor often precedes accounting issues or a lack of available Big 4 firms willing to take the engagement.

Executive Summary
CNBX Pharmaceuticals dismissed its auditor, Elkana Amitai CPA, and hired Vilki & Co., a firm based in Gujarat, India, effective September 28, 2026. The filing states no disagreements or reportable events occurred with the former auditor, but the change to a smaller, non-Big 4 firm is a red flag, especially given the prior going-concern qualification.
