Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

(a) On October 18, 2005, the Board of Directors of Preferred Investment Solutions Corp. (the “Managing Owner”), the Managing Owner of World Monitor Trust – Series B (the “Registrant”), dismissed Arthur F. Bell, Jr. & Associates, L.L.C. (“AFB”) as the registered public accounting firm for the Registrant.

 

The report of AFB on the Registrant’s financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainties, audit scope, or accounting principles. AFB was engaged by World Monitor Trust – Series B on October 1, 2004.

 

During the Registrant’s most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 and during the period from the end of the most recently completed fiscal year through the date of this Form 8-K, the Registrant and the Managing Owner have had no disagreements with AFB on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of AFB, would have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter thereof in its report on the financial statements of the Registrant for such period. During the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 and through the date of this Form 8-K, there were no reportable events (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)).

 

The Managing Owner, on behalf of the Registrant, has provided AFB with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and has requested that AFB furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Registrant set forth above. A copy of AFB’s letter dated October 20, 2005 is filed as an Exhibit to this Form 8-K.

 

(b) On October 18, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Managing Owner, on behalf of the Registrant, approved the engagement of Deloitte & Touche LLP (“D&T”) as the registered public accounting firm for the Registrant. During the Registrant’s two most recent fiscal years and the interim period prior to engaging D&T, neither the Registrant, the Managing Owner, nor anyone on their behalf consulted D&T, on behalf of the Registrant, regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction (either completed or proposed), the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant’s financial statements, or any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the instructions thereto, or a “reportable event,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
