Item 4. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
On November 11, 1998, the General Partners of ATA Research/
ProFutures Diversified Fund, L.P. (the "Registrant"), engaged
Arthur F. Bell, Jr. & Associates, L.L.C. ("AFB&A") as the
Registrant's independent auditors for the year ending December 31,
1998. The Registrant retained AFB&A based upon the General
Partners' determination that the Registrant would benefit from
AFB&A's experience and expertise in commodity pools.
King Griffin & Adamson P.C. ("KG&A") served as the predecessor
auditor. The KG&A audit reports on the financial statements of
the Registrant as of and for the two years ended December 31,
1997 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion,
and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope
or accounting principles. During the two-year period ended
December 31, 1997 and through the period ended November 11, 1998,
there were no disagreements between the Registrant and KG&A on any
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement if
not resolved to the satisfaction of KG&A, would have caused it to
make references to the subject matter of such disagreement in
connection with its report.
The Registrant has authorized KG&A to fully respond to any inquiries
of AFB&A concerning its audit. During the two years ended
December 31, 1997 and through the date of the appointment, AFB&A did
not provide any consultations to the Registrant regarding the
application of accounting principles to specific transactions and
the type opinion that they may have rendered on the financial
statements. AFB&A, however, was engaged during this period to
compile the financial statements of the Registrant.
