ITEM 4.01. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT DISMISSAL OF BERMAN & COMPANY, CPA. AS THE REGISTRANT'S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT. Global Equity International, Inc. (the "Company") has elected to terminate its engagement of Berman & Company CPA ("Berman") as the independent registered public accounting firm responsible for auditing the Company's financial statements. The termination, effective as of January 18, 2013, was approved by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company does not have an Audit Committee. Berman's report on the Company's financial statements for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles with the exception that Berman's Audit Report dated March 29, 2012, contained an explanatory note which raised substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. During the Company's fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011 and the subsequent interim period up to and until January 18, 2013, the date of the dismissal of Berman, the Company did not have any disagreements with Berman 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 Berman, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report. The Company provided Berman with a copy of the disclosures set forth in this Amendment No. 1 to Current Report on Form 8-K, and requested that Berman furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company herein. ENGAGEMENT OF DE JOYA GRIFFITH LLC AS THE REGISTRANT'S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT. The Company has engaged De Joya Griffith LLC ("DJG") to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm responsible for auditing the Company's financial statements. The engagement with DJG, effective as of January 18, 2013, was approved by the Board of Directors. Neither the Company nor anyone on behalf of the Company consulted DJG during the two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period prior to engaging DJG, regarding either: (i) 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, and either a written report was provided to the Company or oral advice was provided that DJG concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or 2
(ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) and the related instructions of Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or reportable event (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).
