committee considers and, when appropriate, pre-approves services at regularly scheduled
meetings after disclosure by management and the auditors of the nature of the proposed services,
the estimated fees (when available), and their opinions that the services will not impair the
auditors’ independence. The committee also may consider and pre-approve any such services in
between meetings.
