Kathy Semanate
was engaged by our company to conduct a review of a regulatory
accounting matter under my direct oversight. This project
was a high-profile and complex subject whereby Ms. Semanate
quickly understood the underlying regulatory issues and such
drastically reduced learning curve resulted in completing
the work ahead of schedule and in extremely high quality.
She has my ultimate gratitude for the outstanding work product.
Individuals in FPL's management were very complimentary of
the work ethic and professionalism demonstrated by Ms. Semanate
in conducting the review.
Given the opportunity, I would certainly hire Ms. Semanate
in the future for other work as the opportunities present
themselves.

Kathy
Semanate and Proficient Corporation have my gratitude and
respect for the excellent SOX 404 work performed on one of
our client’s, 21st Century Holding Company. When the
original firm which was hired to do the 404 job was dismissed,
Kathy and her staff quickly performed an analysis of the situation,
went into the Company and very smoothly began the documentation,
discussion of internal control, education of the employees
regarding the requirements of SOX 404 and last but certainly
not least, guidance of the employees in the testing of the
company’s controls and processes.
Without
Ms. Semanate’s guidance, my client would not have been
able to perform the testing of the controls and I would not
have been able to audit them in a timely manner.
I really enjoyed her expertise; she's a quick study for all
the different types of organizations for which she performs
404 services.

Kathy Semanate has been working at our company for over two
years. She is currently contracted with us to serve as our
Director of Internal Audit on a part-time basis. This is a
wonderful solution that fits our needs in a more economical
manner, than if we staffed this position with a full-time
employee. We have a fully competent, professional internal
auditor at our disposal for a fraction of the cost.
In addition to the internal audit activities, Kathy has developed
many reports using her data mining skills that have been invaluable
for us. She also led a very large project to reconcile and
clean up the data in our policy processing system allowing
us to overcome a material internal control deficiency. I have
been very impressed with her dedication, her desire to do
quality work, her technical skills and ability to get up to
speed quickly. She has been a valuable asset to our company.

Kathy Semanate was engaged by our company to assist us in our Section 404 Sarbanes Oxley ("SOX 404") compliance efforts. She developed tests procedures, coordinated testing with both our domestic operations in the United States and our overseas operations in China. Throughout this process Ms. Semanate demonstrated great resourcefulness in dealing with the Company's China subsidiary by designing testing procedures that could be efficiently applied by the local accounting department, hence avoiding the need to send someone from the US to implement the testing. All of her work was completed in a timely manner with excellent quality.
I can enthusiastically recommend Ms. Semanate for any SOX 404, accounting, or audit work projects. It was a pleasure to work with her and we would gladly employ her again for any future projects.
