Item 4.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

     National Affiliated Corporation (the "Corporation") has informed Deloitte
& Touche LLP ("Deloitte"), its certifying accountants, that the Corporation is
dismissing Deloitte as the certifying accountants in an effort to reduce 
expenses involved with performing the Corporation's audit.  Pursuant to Item 304
Regulation S-B under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Corporation reports as follows:

      (a)(i)The Corporation dismissed Deloitte as its certifying accountant on
February 20, 1998.

      (ii)During the past two years, the Corporation's financial
statements did not contain any adverse opinions or disclaimer of opinion, or 
were modified as to audit scope or accounting principles.  The reports were 
modified as to the uncertainty of the Corporation's ability to maintain minimum
capital requirements of the various states in which the Corporation is licensed,
raising substantial doubt about the Corporation's ability to continue as a going
concern.

      (iii)The dismissal of Deloitte was approved by the Corporation's
board of directors.

      (iv)The Corporation and Deloitte do not have any
disagreements with regard to any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.

      (b)The Corporation engaged Johnson Lambert & Company
("Johnson") of Bethesda, Maryland to be the Corporation's certifying accountant
on February 27, 1998.

      (i)Johnson reviewed the past financial statements for the
Corporation in making its determination to accept the engagement with the
Corporation.

      (ii)The Corporation did not have any disagreements with
Deloitte and therefore did not discuss any past disagreements with Johnson. 

      (c)Attached hereto as Exhibit 16 is Deloitte's letter confirming the
disclosures made in this Form 8-K.<PAGE>
