                                 CURRENT REPORT


ITEM 4(a). PREVIOUS INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT

     On September  13, 2000,  Frontier  Adjusters of America,  Inc.,  an Arizona
corporation  ("Frontier"),  filed a Current  Report on Form 8-K, as amended,  to
report a change in its independent accountant.  The purpose of this amendment is
to correct a typographical error in Item 4(a) of the original filing.

     On August 29, 2000, the Board of Directors of Frontier, voted to not retain
McGladrey & Pullen, LLP ("M&P") as Frontier's  independent  principal accountant
for the current fiscal year but rather to recommend PricewaterhouseCoopers,  LLP
to the shareholders as Frontier's independent principal accountant. The decision
not to retain M&P was  communicated  by  Frontier to M&P on  September  6, 2000.
Frontier may continue to consult with M&P on accounting and financial matters.

     M&P's report on the  financial  statements  of Frontier for the years ended
June 30,  2000  and  June  30,  1999 did not  contain  any  adverse  opinion  or
disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit
scope  or  accounting  principle.  In  connection  with  the  audits  by  M&P of
Frontier's  financial  statements  for the two most recent  fiscal years and the
subsequent  interim  period  through  September  6,  2000,  there  have  been no
disagreements between M&P and Frontier on any matter of accounting principles or
practices,  financial statement disclosure,  or auditing scope or procedure. The
term "disagreement" is utilized in accordance with Item 304 of Regulation S-K.

     M&P has provided  Frontier  with a letter  confirming  its  termination  as
Frontier's  independent  accountant,   and  two  (2)  letters  confirming  their
agreement  with the  statements  pertaining to M&P made herein,  copies of which
were  provided to the SEC by M&P.  Such letters are attached  hereto as Exhibits
16.1, 16.2 and 16.3.

ITEM 4(b). NEW INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT

     On August 29, 2000, Frontier selected PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP ("Price")
as Frontier's  independent public  accountants.  The decision to change auditors
was approved by Frontier's Board of Directors on August 29, 2000 and recommended
to the Shareholders to vote on at their upcoming annual meeting.

     During the two most recent fiscal years and the  subsequent  interim period
through  August 29,  2000,  neither  Frontier  nor anyone on behalf of  Frontier
consulted with Price regarding  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  financial  statements  of Frontier or any
matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, within the meaning of Item
304(a)(1)(iv)  of  Regulation  S-K,  or any  reportable  event,  as that term is
defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
