I was the only proofreader in the Southeast Area during my time at EY. I was also the first one there in some time. This is a newsletter article I wrote to promote use of the service within a local office.

- 1. The Voice of the Tampa OJ/lce Nov/Dee 2002 . ill ERNST& YOUNG The Proof is in the Reading No one enjoys discovering a mathematical error in a draft less than an Ernst & Young professional. Except an Ernst & Young client, when he or she discovers it bound and in bold. You know from experience that proofreading is an essential part of creating your deliverables. You know from orientation that proofreading is available from the firm's Creative Services Group (CSG). You may not know that CSG's full-time proofreaders, one in the Southeast Area and two dozen more across the country, are available to review financial statements and proposals. Proofreaders do not replace the counsel you provide for your clients, but they can prevent the most basic, and thus most embarrassing, of errors, for instance the column or row that does not foot. More importantly, they can catch these errors before the document is printed. As you might expect, this service is its most valuable near the end of a project. As you near production of your document, ask Creative Services to help schedule proofreading. Give ample time for your project manager to fit it into his or her schedule or to find one of the full-time proofreaders in another office for assistance-it can easily take up to 2 or 3 hours for longer documents. Proofreading is not done automatically, and without ample time, we may not be able to complete a proofreading request. We ensure quality every step of the way, but it is often the final proof that uncovers errors everyone has missed throughout the process. By turning over your document to CSG for proofreading, you and your team can devote your expertise to other aspects of the project, assured that this valuable quality service function is in the hands of a reliable ESS professional. For more information on how the benefits of proofreading add up, contact CSG.
