Summary
DNA X dismissed its auditor Baker Tilly on April 27, 2026, shortly after receiving a 2025 audit report that raised substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. This is a critical warning flag indicating serious financial distress.
The company also disclosed an ongoing material weakness in its accounting controls—specifically, a lack of personnel qualified to handle complex transactions like business acquisitions. This control deficiency remains unfixed. While the company states there were no disagreements with Baker Tilly, the timing of the auditor change immediately following a going concern opinion is notable.
DNA X has engaged TAAD LLP as its new auditor for 2026. Retail investors should be extremely cautious: a going concern warning means the auditor believes there's substantial doubt the company can meet its obligations over the next year. Watch for: DNA X's next quarterly filing to assess whether the company has secured additional financing or taken concrete steps to address the going concern issues and remediate the internal control weakness.
