Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

(a)(1)

      (i)  On January 24, 2012, Global Arena Holding, Inc. dismissed Marcum LLP as the independent registered public accountants of Global Arena Holding, Inc.

     (ii) The report of Marcum on the Registrant’s historical financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not modified as to audit scope or accounting principles. However, the audit opinion was modified as to substantial doubt about the registrant’s ability to continue as a going concern as a result of the significant losses and its limited capital resources. For the last two years and through the date of the report, there were no reportable events.

     (iii) The decision to change accountants was approved by the registrant's board of directors; and

     (iv) For the last two years and through the date of the report, there have been no disagreements with Marcum LLP related to accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum LLP, would have caused Marcum LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report.

   (2) On January 24, 2012, the registrant engaged Wei, Wei & Co., LLP as its independent accountants. Global Arena Holding, Inc. has not consulted with Wei, Wei & Co., LLP during the two most recent years and any subsequent interim period prior to engaging that accountant.

     (i)  Not Applicable

     (ii) Not applicable

   (3) The registrant has provided to Marcum LLP., its former accountant, a copy of the disclosures contained in this Item 4 and the registrant has requested a letter from Marcum LLP. addressed to the Commission, confirming certain statements made by the registrant in this Item 4.01.  A copy of this letter is attached hereto.
