Once again, you're either lacking an understanding of the FINRA requirements or you're simply trying to mislead new GRLT investors here.

If you're trying to imply that FINRA requires "audited" financial records for a name change under the RM, you would be wrong.

See a Form 10? Do you even see an auditor??



FINRA reviews corporate actions (including name changes, ticker changes, reverse splits, and reverse mergers) under FINRA Rule 6490, which focuses on:
• Properly executed corporate documents
• Board and shareholder approvals
• State-filed amendments
• CUSIP confirmation
• Merger or reorganization agreements
• Payment of applicable fees

None of the required items include audited financials.
This is supported by corporate-action guidance showing the required documents: board resolutions, shareholder consents, articles of amendment, CUSIP letters, and merger agreements — not audits.

Audits become relevant only when:
• The company is preparing to uplist (OTCQB, Nasdaq, etc.)
• The company is preparing SEC filings (e.g., Form 10, S-1)
• The company wants to regain or maintain “current information” status
Example: Renewal Fuels (RNWF) filed a name change with FINRA while separately working on PCAOB audits for other regulatory goals — but the audit was not a requirement for the name change itself.
