Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

(a) Former Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On December 28, 2015, Albert Wong & Co. LLP (“Albert Wong”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of QKL Stores Inc. (the “Company”). On that same day, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors approved AWC CPA Limited as the Company’s new auditors.

The reports of Albert Wong on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, and in the subsequent interim periods through December 28, 2015, there were no disagreements with Albert Wong on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope and procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Albert Wong, would have caused Albert Wong to make reference to the matter in its report.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, and in the subsequent interim periods through December 28, 2015, there were no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(i)(v) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Regulation S-K”).

The Company provided Albert Wong with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested Albert Wong to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above disclosures. A copy of the letter furnished pursuant to that request is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

(b) New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On December 28, 2015, the Company appointed AWC CPA Limited (“AWC”) as the Company's new independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, and during all subsequent interim periods through December 28, 2015, the Company did not consult AWC regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements or any matter that was the subject of a "disagreement" with its former accountants or a "reportable event" as those terms are defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(d) Exhibits.

16.1 Letter from Albert Wong & Co. LLP to the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding a change in certifying accountant.
