Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On May 2, 2023, the Audit Committee of the board of directors (the "Audit Committee") of SRAX, Inc. (the "Company") approved the dismissal of Marcum LLP ("Marcum") as independent registered public accounting firm of the Company effective immediately. As previously reported, Marcum was engaged as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm on October 27, 2022.

Marcum did not issue an audit report on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 or any interim period.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, and through the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company had (i) no "disagreements" (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) with Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in any of its future audit reports; and (ii) no "reportable events" (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K), except that Marcum concurred with the Company's assessment of material weaknesses related to the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Prior to the date hereof, Marcum advised the Audit Committee and the Company's management of certain material weaknesses related to the Company's internal control over financial reporting, which constitute a "reportable event" (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). Accordingly, the Company reported such material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting in Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, as set forth in Part I, Item 4 "Controls and Procedures" of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The Company has authorized Marcum to respond fully to any inquiries that the Company's new independent registered public accounting firm, TAAD LLP ("TAAD"), which engagement is more fully described below, may have concerning the subject matter of such reportable event.

The Company has provided Marcum with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that Marcum furnish the Company a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of Marcum's letter, dated May 5, 2023 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On May 2, 2023, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of TAAD as its independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

During the two most recent years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and during the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2023 through May 2, 2023, neither the Company, nor anyone acting on its behalf, consulted with TAAD on (i) any matters regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered with respect to the Company's consolidated financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company that TAAD concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was the subject of any disagreement (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
