Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

At a meeting held on August 20, 2013, the Board of Directors of Transamerica Advisors Life Insurance Company of New York (“Company”) voted, at the recommendation of the Company’s Audit Committee, to renew Ernst & Young LLP’s (“E&Y”) services for the company’s 2013 engagement, and that the client-auditor relationship will cease upon completion of the 2013 annual audit for Transamerica Advisors Life Insurance Company of New York’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

The reports of E&Y on the Company’s financial statements for the 2012 and 2011 engagements 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.

In connection with the audits of the Company’s financial statements for each of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and in the subsequent interim period through the date of this filing, there were no disagreements with E&Y on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope and procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y would have caused E&Y to make reference to the matter in their report.

There were no “reportable events” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company has requested E&Y to furnish it a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements.

A copy of that letter, dated August 23, 2013 is filed as Exhibit A to this Form 8-K.

The Board of Directors also appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent auditor for the Annual Accounts 2014 through 2016.
