Nauticus Robotics, Inc. recently disclosed a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting. The issue relates to a lack of qualified accounting and financial reporting personnel with sufficient experience, as well as inadequate procedures for the accounting close process, including delays in obtaining information supporting significant accounting estimates and judgments. This material weakness was previously reported in the company's annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Despite this issue, the company reported no disagreements with its outgoing auditor, Whitley Penn LLP, and has appointed Withum, Smith & Brown P.C. as its new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
