Item 4.01.
Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
Effective on June 20, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), Clear Skies Solar, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed J.H. Cohn LLP (“J. H. Cohn”) from serving as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
The Company’s Board of Directors unanimously approved and authorized this action.
On June 21, 2011, the Company provided J. H. Cohn with a copy of the disclosures it is making in response to Item 4.01 on this Form 8-K, and has requested that J. H. Cohn furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of the letter, dated June 22, 2011, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The reports of J. H,. Cohn on the financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. In connection with its audits of the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 and reviews of the Company’s financial statements through the Effective Date, there were no disagreements with J. H. Cohn 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 J. H. Cohn, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements.
On June 20, 2011 the Company engaged KBL, LLP (“KBL”) as its new independent registered public accounting firm. The Company’s Board of Directors unanimously approved and authorized this action. During the two most recent fiscal years and through the Effective Date, the Company has not consulted with KBL on any matter that (i) involved the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, in each case where a written report was provided or oral advice was provided that KBL concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) was either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
