AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors has:
• reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements for the fiscal
year ended January 29, 2016,
• discussed with Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, the
matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 16,
Communication with Audit Committees, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board,
• received the written disclosures and the letter from Ernst & Young LLP required by
applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the
independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee
concerning independence, and
• discussed with Ernst & Young LLP their independence from Dollar General and its
management.
Based on these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee unanimously recommended to
the Board of Directors that Dollar General’s audited financial statements be included in the Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2016 for filing with the SEC.
While the Audit Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in its charter, the
Audit Committee does not have the duty to plan or conduct audits or to determine that Dollar
General’s financial statements are complete, accurate, or in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Dollar General’s management and independent auditor have this responsibility.
The Audit Committee also does not have the duty to assure compliance with laws and regulations or
with the policies of the Board of Directors.
This report has been furnished by the members of the Audit Committee:
• David B. Rickard, Chairman
• Warren F. Bryant
• Sandra B. Cochran
• Paula A. Price
The above Audit Committee Report does not constitute soliciting material and should not be
deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other Dollar General filing under the Securities Act of
1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent Dollar General specifically incorporates
this report by reference therein.
