Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On January 26, 2012, Premier Alliance Group, Inc. (1) retained Cherry Bekaert & Holland LLP (“CB&H”) as its independent accountant responsible for auditing its financial statements for fiscal year 2012 and (2) dismissed Scharf Pera & Co., PLLC (“Scharf Pera”) as its independent accountant responsible for auditing its financial statements, which will be effective at the completion of the 2011 audit and 10K filing.
Scharf Pera’s report on Premier Alliance Group’s financial statements for either of the past two fiscal years, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
The decision to dismiss Scharf Pera and retain CB&H was proposed by the audit committee and unanimously approved by Premier Alliance Group’s board of directors.
During the two most recent fiscal years and through the date of dismissal, Premier Alliance Group had no disagreements, whether or not resolved, with Scharf Pera on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Scharf Pera’s satisfaction, would have caused Scharf Pera to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report. There were no events otherwise reportable under Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B.
During Premier Alliance Group’s two most recent fiscal years, Premier Alliance Group did not consult CB&H regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Premier Alliance Group’s financial statements.
Premier Alliance Group provided Scharf Pera with a copy of this report. Attached as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of a letter from Scharf Pera agreeing with the statements made in this report.
