Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

On January 12, 2012, the management of Converted Organics Inc.(the "Company") was notified that its newly appointed independent registered public accounting firm, Grant Thornton LLP ("Grant Thornton") had resigned. The Company had announced in a previous Form 8-K, on December 2, 2011, that the Audit Committee of the Company had approved the engagement of Grant Thornton as the Company's new independent registered public accounting firm as a result of Grant Thornton’s acquisition of CCR LLP on December 1, 2011.

Grant Thornton has not reported on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for any period.

During the period from November 29, 2011 through January 12, 2012, there were no disagreements between the Company and Grant Thornton on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Grant Thornton, would have caused Grant Thornton to make reference to the matter in their report. None of the "reportable events" described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K of the SEC’s rules and regulations have occurred during the period from November 29, 2011 through January 12, 2012.

The Company requested Grant Thornton to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether Grant Thornton agrees with the above statements. A copy of Grant Thornton’s letter, dated January 18, 2012 is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

The Company has begun a search to appoint a new independent registered public accounting firm.
