ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

Wavetech International, Inc. ("Wavetech" or the "Company") received and accepted
the declination for reelection notice from their independent auditors,  Addison,
Roberts & Ludwig,  P.C. ("AR&L"),  on August 6, 1999. AR&L declined to stand for
reelection as the Company's  independent auditors for the year ending August 31,
2000 due to the  firm's  cessation  of audit  and  accounting  services  and the
withdrawal of all the firm's  partners.  Due to the cessation of services,  AR&L
will not be performing the Company's audit for its fiscal year ending August 31,
1999. The Company has authorized  AR&L, and they have agreed,  to respond to any
inquiries or requests for information made by the Company's new auditors.  There
have not been any accounting disagreements or other reportable events within the
meaning of Item 304 of SEC  Regulation  S-K for the last two fiscal  years.  The
Company has delivered a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K to AR&L and AR&L
has stated in its  attached  letter to the SEC,  filed as Exhibit  16, that they
concur with the foregoing statements in this paragraph. The Company is currently
negotiating with respect to the engagement of new auditors.
