MILWAUKEE, April 29, 2002 -- Wisconsin Energy Corp. reported that it is reviewing its relationship with its accountants and has initiated a process to select an independent public accountant for the audit of the 2002 financial statements.
The company's Audit and Oversight Committee will hold formal discussions with several major accounting firms. Arthur Andersen LLP served as the company's accountants for the 2001 audit.
"We have been very satisfied with the professional conduct and services provided by the local Andersen audit team," said Barbara Bowles, chair of the Audit and Oversight Committee. "However, questions concerning the long-term viability of the firm in light of developments elsewhere have prompted the audit committee to review the relationship. We believe that it is in the best interest of our shareholders to begin an orderly process to consider the selection of a new accounting firm."
