Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
On December 18, 2008, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of The National Security Group, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the engagement of Warren, Averett, Kimbrough and Marino (“WAKM”) to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. The engagement of WAKM resulted from a competitive request for proposal process undertaken by the Audit Committee pursuant to which the Audit Committee received proposals from WAKM, Barfield, Murphy, Shank & Smith and two other independent registered accounting firms.
During the company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the subsequent interim period through December 18, 2008, neither the company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with WAKM regarding either 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 neither a written report nor oral advice was provided that WAKM concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” or a “reportable event,” as those terms are defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K and the related instructions.
