WALNUT CREEK, CA--(Marketwire - April 2, 2009) - American Reprographics Company (NYSE : ARP ), the nation's leading provider of reprographics services and
technology, today announced that the Audit Committee of its Board of
Directors approved the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the
Company's independent auditors for fiscal year 2009. The change followed a
comprehensive search process initiated by the Company earlier in the year
and was approved by the Audit Committee on March 27, 2009. Deloitte
replaces PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, which had previously served as the
Company's independent auditors.
"We are grateful for the guidance PwC provided to us, ensuring that ARC was
on the right track from its earliest days as a public company," said K.
"Suri" Suriyakumar, Chairman, President and CEO of American Reprographics
Company. "The quality of their audit has been excellent, and we've had no
disagreements on accounting issues, disclosure or auditing standards. The
current economic environment, however, required a thorough review of all
our key independent service providers and, as a result, the Board concluded
that Deloitte was the best choice to provide audit services for the company
going forward."
