Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
         (a)       Previous independent registered public accounting firm

 On July 16, 2015, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Golden Enterprises, Inc ( “Registrant” or “Company”), notified Dudley, Hopton-Jones, Sims, & Freeman PLLP (“Dudley Hopton”) that it was dismissing Dudley Hopton as its independent registered public accounting firm effective for interim and annual periods beginning with the first quarter of fiscal year ending June 3, 2016.

             The reports of Dudley Hopton on the financial statements of the Registrant for the past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

In accordance with Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(ii) for the past two fiscal years and the subsequent interim periods there have been no disagreements with Dudley Hopton 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 Dudley Hopton, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such years. Also, there have been no “reportable events” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Registrant has provided Dudley Hopton with a copy of this Form 8-K, and has requested that Dudley Hopton furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of such letter, dated July 16, 2015, indicating that Dudley Hopton is in agreement with such disclosures, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

(b)       New independent registered public accounting firm

On July 16, 2015, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Registrant engaged Carr, Riggs & Ingram, LLC (“CRI”) as the Registrant’s independent registered public accountant effective for fiscal quarter ending August 28, 2015. In deciding to select CRI, the Audit Committee reviewed auditor independence issues and existing commercial relationships with CRI and concluded that CRI  has no commercial relationship with the Company that would impair its independence for the fiscal year ended June 3, 2016. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through July 16, 2015, the Company did not consult with CRI with respect to any of the matters or events listed in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(2).
