Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On November 4, 2005, Pannell Kerr Forster of Texas, P.C. ("PKF") notified ERHC
Energy Inc. (the "Company") that it resigned as the Company's independent
auditor effective immediately.
PKF's report on the financial statements for the fiscal years ended September
30, 2004 and 2003, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was
not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles.
The Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors was informed of, but did
not recommend or approve, PKF's resignation.
During the Company's fiscal years September 30, 2004 and 2003, and the
subsequent interim periods preceding PKF's resignation, there were no
disagreements between the Company and PKF on any matter of accounting principles
or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure,
which disagreements, if not resolved to PKF's satisfaction, would have caused
PKF to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection
with their report.
The Company provided PKF with a copy of the foregoing disclosures. Attached as
Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of PKF's letter regarding the change in certifying
accountant.
