The CEO has worked with this auditor before. They wouldn't move forward with this current engagement if they didn't respect one another.
I believe this one will move quickly because the CEO has expertise in SEC filings.
Remember the CEO has 30 years’ experience in business. This includes 10 years in public markets, leading as CEO, or helping other companies move into markets. He has performed as CFO doing SEC filings, audits, preparing S-1’s, etc. Got into CGRA to help them identify projects. While looking to acquire physical assets, considered upside and earnings potential when deciding the assets to back.
