Item 4. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

On May 15, 2004, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Acceris Communications Inc. (“Acceris” or the “Company”) authorized the Audit Committee Chairman to appoint BDO Seidman, LLP (“BDO”) to serve as the Company’s independent auditors for the current fiscal year, which ends on December 31, 2004. The appointment of BDO as the Company’s independent auditors occurred on May 17, 2004, and is effective immediately. BDO will audit and report on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 and the consolidated statement of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the same fiscal period. BDO will also perform a review of the unaudited condensed consolidated quarterly financial statements to be included in the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q which review will include financial quarters beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2004.

During each of the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and through the date of this report, (a) Acceris has not engaged BDO as either the principal accountant to audit the Company’s financial statements, or as an independent accountant to audit a significant subsidiary of the Company and on whom the principal accountant is expected to express reliance in its report; and (b) Acceris or someone on its behalf did not consult BDO with respect to (i) 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, or (ii) any other matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event as set forth in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v) of Regulation S-K.
