ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
 
(a)
Effective as of October 12, 2009 upon the authorization and approval of its Board of Directors, Tia IV, Inc, a Delaware Corporation (“Registrant”) dismissed Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as its independent registered public accounting firm.
 
The reports of Marcum on the financial statements of the Registrant as of and for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that Marcum’s  audit report as of  September 30, 2008 and for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, contained an explanatory paragraph regarding uncertainties about Registrant’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
During Registrants two most recent fiscal years (ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively), and any subsequent interim period through the date of dismissal (October 12, 2009), there were no disagreements with Marcum, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum  would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with their reports.
 
In connection with the audit for our financial statements for the years September 2008 and 2007  respectively, Marcum advised us that it had identified a deficiency in our internal controls which was designated as “material weakness” in our controls over financial reporting under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board with respect to inadequate segregation of duties within our accounting function and our difficulty in evaluating, applying, and documenting complex accounting principles, recording transactions correctly, and preparing a complete report without major errors. The Company also failed to properly record the sale of common stock and stock based compensation..
 
 (b)
Effective as of October 12, 2009 upon the authorization and approval of its Board of Directors, the Registrant engaged Traci J. Anderson, CPA as its independent registered public accounting firm.

No consultations occurred between the Registrant and Traci J. Anderson, CPA during the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 and through October 12, 2009 regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant’s financial statements, or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was the subject of disagreement or a reportable event requiring disclosure under item 304 (a) (1) (iv) or (v) of regulation S-K.
