Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

         On May 7, 2001, WidePoint Corporation (the "Company") determined that
the firm of Arthur Andersen LLP ("AA") would no longer serve as the Company's
independent accounting firm. AA had served in that capacity since 1996. The
Company decided that a change in its independent accounting firm would be
appropriate.

         During the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000, there were no
disagreements between the Company and AA on any matters of accounting principles
or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure,
which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of AA, would have been referred to in
their reports. AA's reports on the Company's financial statements for the years
ended December 31, 1999 and 2000 did not contain an adverse opinion or a
disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope, or accounting principles.

         The decision to change independent accountants was approved by the
Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.

         Attached as an exhibit to this Form 8-K is a letter from AA indicating
their agreement or disagreement with the statements made by the Company in this
Form 8-K.

         On May 7, 2001, the Company engaged the independent accounting firm of
Grant Thornton LLP ("Grant Thornton") to serve as its new auditors.

         During the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000 and the subsequent
interim period, the Company did not consult with Grant Thornton regarding
either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction
or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial
statements or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as
defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Form 8-K) or a reportable event (as defined in
Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Form 8-K).

         The decision to engage of Grant Thornton was approved by the Audit
Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.

Item 7.  Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits.

         Exhibits:

         The following exhibit is filed herewith:
