Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountants

Effective June 24, 2020, Synthesis Energy Systems, Inc. (the "Company") was informed by RSM US, LLP ("RSM") that the client-auditor relationship has ceased.

RSM's audit reports on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2019 and 2018 and for each of the years in the two year period ended June 30, 2019 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles. The audit reports did include an explanatory paragraph concerning the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and the subsequent interim period through June 24, 2020, there were no disagreements with RSM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of RSM, would have caused RSM to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its reports.

During the year ended June 30, 2019, there was a "reportable event" as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 304(a)(1)(v). The Company reported the existence of a material weakness in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting relating to management's review controls and the lack of segregation of duties over accounting transactions due to the limited resources available. Additionally, during our quarterly review for the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, an additional material weakness was reported related to the Company that it does not have personnel in financial oversight roles with the knowledge to properly account for non-routine and complex accounting transactions.
