ITEM 4.01 CHANGE IN COMPANY’S
CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
On May 12, 2017, the Board
of Directors of Diego Pellicer Worldwide, Inc. (the “
Company
”) approved the dismissal of Paritz &
Company, P.A. (“Paritz”) as the registered independent registered public accountant and ratified and approved
the appointment of RBSM, LLP (“RBSM”) as the Company’s registered independent public accounting firm for calendar
year 2017.
Other than the disclosure
of an uncertainty regarding the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern which was included in Paritz’s
report on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Paritz’s reports
on the financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, did not contain an adverse
opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the years ended
December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and the subsequent interim period preceding Paritz’s dismissal, there were:
(i) no “disagreements” (within the meaning of Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K) with Paritz 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 Paritz, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports
on the consolidated financial statements of the Company; and (ii) no “reportable events” (as such term is defined
in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K), except for material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting as described in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31,
2015, which have not been corrected as of the date of this filing.
During the years
ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and the subsequent interim period preceding RBSM’s appointment, neither the
Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted RBSM 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 no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company that RBSM concluded was an important factor considered
by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was
the subject of a “
disagreement
” or “
reportable event
” (within the meaning of Item 304(a)
of Regulation S-K and Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, respectively).
The Company provided a
copy of the foregoing disclosures to Paritz on the date of the filing of this report and requested that Paritz furnish
it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements in this
Report.
