How we checked this
Checked on September 30, 2026. The cited source supports every part of this claim.
The proxy says the Board approved GHP Horwath as auditor for fiscal 2013 on March 28, 2013 and put the appointment to a shareholder ratification vote. Because the document was issued before the meeting, it does not show that shareholders actually ratified it.
Confirmed in the source:
- The Venaxis Board approved appointing GHP Horwath, P.C. as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013
- The appointment was submitted to shareholders for ratification at the June 11, 2013 annual meeting
