Pinnacle West’s Audit Committee pre-approves each audit service and non-audit service to be provided by APS’s registered
public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has delegated to the Chair of the Audit Committee the authority to pre-approve audit and
non-audit services to be performed by the independent public accountants if the services are not expected to cost more than $50,000.
The Chair must report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. All of the services performed
by Deloitte & Touche LLP for APS in 2015 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee or the Chair of the Audit Committee consistent
with the pre-approval policy.
