Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

(a) Effective October 2, 2014, Southern Trust Securities Holding Corp. (the “Company”) terminated Morrison Brown, Argiz & Farra LLC (MBAF) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.  MBAF reported on the Company’s financial statements for Southern Trust Securities, Inc. as of the year ended December 31, 2013, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period preceding the Company’s termination of MBAF on October 2, 2014, there are no disagreements with MBAF on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.

(b) Effective October 2, 2014, the Company engaged Roth, Jonas, Mittelberg, & Hartney, CPA’s P.A. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
