•
|
The committee shall have a clear understanding with management and the independent auditors that the independent auditors are ultimately accountable to the board and the audit
committee, as representatives of the Company’s shareholders. The committee shall have the ultimate authority and responsibility to evaluate and, where appropriate, replace the independent auditors. The committee shall discuss with the
auditors their independence from management and the Company and the matters included in the written disclosures required by the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and by applicable SEC rules and
regulations. Annually, the committee shall review and recommend to the board the selection of the company’s independent auditors, subject to shareholders’ approval.
|
•
|
The committee shall discuss with the Company’s administrator and independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their respective audits, and any other services to be
performed by them, including the adequacy of staffing and compensation, all of which services shall be subject to the committee’s approval. Also, the committee shall discuss with them the auditors’ report on the adequacy and
effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. The committee shall also review with the auditors the Company’s system to monitor and manage business risk, and legal and ethical
compliance programs.
|
•
|
The committee shall review the interim financial statements with management and the independent auditors prior to their issuance. Also, the committee shall discuss the results of
their review and any other matters required to be communicated to them by the independent auditors under generally accepted auditing standards. The chair of the committee may represent the entire committee for the purposes of this
review.
|
•
|
The committee shall review with management and the independent auditors the financial statements to be included in the Company’s annual report to shareholders, including their
judgment about the quality, not just acceptability, of accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of the disclosures in the financial statements. The committee shall recommend to the board
whether the audited statements shall be issued to the shareholders and filed with the SEC. Also, the committee shall discuss the results of the annual audit and any other matters required to be communicated to the committee by the
independent auditors under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and applicable SEC rules and regulations.
