Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting ManpowerGroup 2013 Annual Report 49
Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule
13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to
provide reasonable assurance to management and the Board of Directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and
our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal
control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included review of the documentation
of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a
conclusion on this evaluation. Deloitte & Touche LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, issued an
attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, which is
included herein. Based on our evaluation we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective
as of December 31, 2013.
