Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

Effective October 15, 2015, Anderson Bradshaw PLLC was dismissed as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. The decision was approved on October 15, 2015 by the Board of Directors of Pacific Ventures Group, Inc.

During the Registrant's fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, and the subsequent period through dismissal on October 15, 2015, there were (i) no disagreements with Anderson Bradshaw PLLC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, and (ii) no "reportable events" as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The report of Anderson Bradshaw PLLC regarding the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the audit report of Anderson Bradshaw PLLC on the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 contained an explanatory paragraph which noted that there was substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Registrant provided Anderson Bradshaw PLLC with a copy of the disclosures made in this Current Report on Form 8-K on April 20, 2016, and requested that Anderson Bradshaw PLLC furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the Registrant's statements herein and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter furnished by Anderson Bradshaw PLLC is attached as Exhibit 16.

On April 19, 2016 the Registrant engaged Dylan Floyd Accounting and Consulting as the Registrant's new independent registered public accounting firm. The appointment of Dylan Floyd Accounting and Consulting was approved by the Board of Directors of Pacific Ventures Group, Inc.  Dylan Floyd Accounting and Consulting will be reviewing and providing audit services related to the financial statements that are to be included in the Annual Report for the period ended December 31, 2015.  Dylan Floyd Accounting and Consulting did not prepare or provide any financial reports for any periods prior to the date of engagement, nor did it prepare or provide any financial reports for, or prior to the year ended December 31, 2015.  Neither the Company, nor any person on behalf of the Company, consulted with Dylan Floyd Accounting and Consulting during the Company's two most recent fiscal years or the subsequent interim period prior to the engagement of Dylan Floyd Accounting and Consulting and the dismissal of Anderson Bradshaw PLLC.
