• |
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.

Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in
