SECTION 4 - MATTERS RELATED TO ACCOUNTANTS & FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Item 4.01 - Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
Ronald Chadwick, PC, formerly the independent registered public accountant for
Hinto Energy, Inc. ("the Company") was dismissed as the Company's independent
registered public accountant on April 15, 2013. On April 15, 2013, the Board of
Directors of the Company approved the engagement of new auditors, Borgers &
Cutler, CPA, PC, of Colorado to be the Company's independent registered public
accountant. No audit committee exists, other than the members of the Board of
Directors.
The action to engage new auditors was approved by the Board of Directors. No
audit committee exists, other than the members of the Board of Directors.
In connection with audit of fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and
the cumulative period of January 1, 2012 through September 30, 2012 and through
the date of termination of the accountants, no disagreements exist with the
former independent registered public accountant on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, internal control
assessment, or auditing scope of procedure, which disagreements if not resolved
to the satisfaction of the former accountant would have caused them to make
reference in connection with their report to the subject of the disagreement(s).
The Independent Auditor Report by Ronald Chadwick, PC for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2010 and 2011, contained an opinion which included a paragraph
discussing uncertainties related to continuation of the Company as a going
concern.
Prior to engaging Borgers & Cutler, CPA, PC, the Company had not consulted
Borgers & Cutler, CPA, PC regarding the application of accounting principles to
a specified transaction, completed or proposed, the type of audit opinion that
might be rendered on the Company's financial statements or a reportable event,
nor did the Company consult with Borgers & Culter, CPA, regarding any
disagreements with its prior auditor on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the prior auditor, would
have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in
connection with its reports.
