Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
- ------------------------------------------------------
The information provided herein is an update of information
reported in the Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K dated
November 20, 1996.
On November 19, 1996, Bankers Trust New York Corporation
(the "Corporation") appointed the accounting firm of KPMG Peat
Marwick LLP as its independent auditors for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 1997, and chose not to renew the engagement of
Ernst & Young LLP, who served as the Corporation's independent
auditors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. The
Corporation's Board of Directors approved the selection of KPMG
Peat Marwick LLP as new independent auditors upon the
recommendation of the Corporation's Audit Committee. Neither
management nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with KPMG Peat
Marwick LLP regarding 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 Corporation's
financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral
advice was provided to the Corporation that KPMG Peat Marwick LLP
concluded was an important factor considered by the Corporation
in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or
financial reporting issue during the Corporation's two most
recent fiscal years prior to engaging KPMG Peat Marwick LLP.
The Ernst & Young LLP reports on the Corporation's financial
statements for the years ended December 31, 1996 and December 31,
1995 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion
and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope
or accounting principles. Since January 1, 1995, the Corporation
has not had any disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP on any
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure or auditing scope or procedures that would require
disclosure in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.
Ernst & Young LLP has furnished to the Corporation a letter
addressed to the SEC stating that it agrees with the statements
in the immediately preceding paragraph. A copy of such letter,
dated June 17, 1997 is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K/A.
