| OUR

of associated professionals, each of which is specialized in their fields, working
as a team in order to meet the needs of our clients by providing them with the
best professional service. Consulting
firms, such as individual persons, have their own characteristics. We at W. García
y Asociados believe that a distinctive feature is our ability to provide services
supported by both quality and personal effort, since partners and professional
staff in the Firm perform our work carefully and responsibly beyond the standards
for consulting firms because within the business environment counting on a team

the operation of businesses that hire our independent services. You

who are members of their community, people who knows the local environment, uses

advice. Our organizational philosophy ensures our clients that they shall be supported
by a firm that understands and presents Solutions to their problems. Choosing
the right consulting firm is one of the most important decisions for a company
to make; you need more than just an auditor. Accordingly, the attendance of the
professionals at W. García y Asociados at our clients' facilities is continuous
and occurs more often than the usual. For example, when hired to audit financial
statements at the beginning of each fiscal year, we estimate three, four or more
visits within the year - as needed - according to our clients' needs, in order
to avoid inconveniences at the closing, resulting from errors that might had been
corrected timely. The
above is also applicable for consulting, anticipating several visits from time
to time (in a weekly, biweekly or monthly basis), and not only when we are specifically
required to attend. This frequent contact with clients provides a useful, convenient
interchange. Our
firm counts on both human and technical resources, as well as wide experience
in the fields of auditing, consulting and other related services, achieved by
means of rendering our professional services to a number of public and private
entities involved in different activities within the economic environment of the

and consulting firms, as well as important companies in the private sector. We
further count of professionals specialized in marketing and international commerce,
which enables us to advise our clients in the import-export activity. |
