This Form 8-K/A amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by MasTec, Inc.
("MasTec") on April 26, 2002, solely for the purpose of changing the word
"replacing" in reference to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") to "dismissing,"
pursuant to the requirements of Item 304(a)(i) of Regulation S-K.
Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
The Audit Committee of MasTec is responsible for reviewing and engaging
the independent auditors for MasTec. The Audit Committee has adopted a policy to
review the independent auditor selection periodically. On April 19, 2002, the
Audit Committee determined to engage Ernst & Young LLP as MasTec's independent
auditors for the 2002 calendar year, dismissing PwC.
During MasTec's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent period
from January 1, 2002 through April 19, 2002, there were no disagreements between
MasTec and PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not
resolved to PwC's satisfaction, would have caused PwC to make reference to the
subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on MasTec's
financial statements for such period.
None of the reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K occurred during MasTec's two most recent years ended December 31,
2001 and 2000, or during the subsequent period from January 1, 2002 through
April 19, 2002.
The audit reports issued by PwC on the consolidated financial
statements of MasTec as of and for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000
did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
MasTec provided PwC with a copy of the foregoing statements concerning
PwC and a letter from PwC confirming its agreement with these statements is
attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this report.
During MasTec's two most recent years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000
and through April 19, 2002, MasTec did not consult with Ernst & Young with
respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction
or regarding any of the other matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i)
and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
