Section 4 – Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements

 

Item 4.01Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

On February 27, 2012, Conversion Services International, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” or “us”) received the resignation of Friedman LLP (“Friedman”), our independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately.

 

Other than raising substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern, the report of independent registered public accounting firm of Friedman regarding our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and during the interim period from the end of the most recently completed fiscal year through February 27, 2012, the date of resignation, there were no disagreements with Friedman on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Friedman, would have caused it to make reference to such disagreement in its reports.

 

We provided Friedman with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and requested that Friedman furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the above statements and, if it does not agree, the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter, dated March 6, 2012, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is herein incorporated by reference.
