SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20549 FORM 8-K CURRENT REPORT Pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Date of Report (Date of earliest event reported) December 6, 1996 Brauvin Real Estate Fund L. P. 4 (Exact name of registrant as specified in its charter) Delaware 0-13402 36-3304339 (State or other (Commission (IRS Employer jurisdiction of File Number) Identification organization) Number) 150 South Wacker Drive, Suite 3200, Chicago, Illinois 60606 (Address of principal executive offices) (Zip Code) Registrant's telephone number, including area code (312) 443-0922 Not Applicable (Former name or former address, if changed since last report) Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant On December 6, 1996, Brauvin Real Estate Fund L.P. 4 (the "Partnership") dismissed Ernst & Young LLP as its independent accountant. Ernst & Young LLP's report on the financial statements for either of the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The decision to change the Partnership's accountant was made at the recommendation of the General Partners to reduce the costs associated with the audit. In the Partnership's fiscal years ended 1994 and 1995 and the subsequent interim period preceding the dismissal there were no disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which would have caused Ernst & Young LLP to make reference to the matter in their report. There were no reportable events as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(B) of Regulation S-B. On December 6, 1996, the Partnership engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP as its independent accountant. The decision to engage Deloitte & Touche LLP was made following consideration by the General Partners. Neither the Partnership (nor someone on its behalf) consulted Deloitte & Touche LLP regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Partnership's financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
