Item 9: Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A: Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our chief executive
officers and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this annual report (the
“Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officers and chief financial officer concluded as
of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information
relating to Motorola, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to Motorola’s management,
including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Motorola’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with
the participation of our senior management, including our chief executive officers and chief financial officer, we
assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, using the
criteria set forth in the Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management has concluded that
our internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2008. The Company’s independent
registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting. The report on the audit of internal control over financial reporting appears in this
Form 10-K.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter
ended December 31, 2008 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal
control over financial reporting.
