ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

 

Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

(i)            On January 8, 2008, ISG dismissed Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C. (“Rothstein”) as its independent registered public accounting firm.

 

(ii)           The report of Rothstein on ISG’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Rothstein audited the balance sheet of ISG as of December 31, 2006 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period from July 20, 2006 (inception) to December 31, 2006. Rothstein’s audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of ISG’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, Rothstein expressed no such opinion.

 

(iii)          ISG’s Audit Committee and Board recommended and approved the decision to change independent registered public accounting firms.

 

(iv)          In connection with the audit of ISG’s financial statements for the most recently completed fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, and through January 8, 2008, there have been no disagreements with Rothstein 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 Rothstein, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in connection with its audit report. There were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

(v)           ISG has given permission to Rothstein to respond fully to the inquiries of the successor auditor, including concerning the subject matter of this reportable event.

 

(vi)          ISG has requested that Rothstein furnish ISG with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated January 9, 2008, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this current report on Form 8-K.

 

New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

(i)            As of January 8, 2008, ISG’s Audit Committee and its Board engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as its independent registered public accounting firm to audit ISG’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.

 

(ii)           From July 20, 2006 (inception) through January 8, 2008, ISG has not consulted with PwC 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 financial statements of ISG, as well as any matters or reportable events described in Items 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.

 

ITEM 5.03 AMENDMENTS TO BYLAWS

 

                On January 8, 2008, the Board of Directors of Information Services Group, Inc. (“ISG”) voted to adopt an amendment to ISG’s bylaws, effective immediately, permitting uncertificated shares.  The amended and restated bylaws of ISG are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2.
