Always Be Cooperative, Forthcoming and Transparent
Always cooperate and communicate truthfully with
members of BlackBerry’s internal audit, accounting,
ethics and compliance, and legal teams, as well as
with BlackBerry’s independent auditors, outside
counsel and government investigators or regulators
with respect to BlackBerry’s accounting practices
or financial statements. As part of our commitment
to the accuracy of our publicly disclosed financial
information, we must make sure that relevant
information regarding the financial condition of
BlackBerry and our internal controls is available
to the Audit and Risk Management Committee
of the Board of Directors.
We rely on our accounting records for many reasons,
including producing reports for management,
shareholders, creditors, governmental agencies and
others. Financial statements, and the books and
records upon which they are based, must be accurate
and complete, and must comply with applicable
accounting principles and legal requirements. This
includes the BlackBerry system of internal controls.
If you are involved in BlackBerry’s financial reporting
process, make sure that all transactions and balances
are timely and accurately recorded, classified and
summarized in accordance with BlackBerry’s
financial and accounting practices. Even if you are
not in a finance or accounting role, be mindful that
everyday transactions such as recording expense
reports and preparing sales invoices must be
accurate and complete.
Adhere to Our Processes and Controls
You must follow all processes and controls designed
to ensure the accuracy of BlackBerry’s assessment
and reporting of financial results. No one should
ever override internal controls or procedures directly
or indirectly related to financial reporting. If you
believe that you need to deviate from these controls
or procedures for legitimate reasons, you must
first communicate the circumstances in writing
to the Finance Department and obtain approval.
Be sure to retain, protect and dispose of company
financial records in accordance with applicable
legal requirements and BlackBerry record
retention policies.
