ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE
There have been no disagreements with accountants on any matter of accounting principles and practices or financial disclosure.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of
our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on this
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
are effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to Plantronics’ management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management. Our disclosure controls and procedures include components of our internal control over financial
reporting. Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting is expressed at the level of
reasonable assurance because a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not
absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule
13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of
our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on this evaluation, our management has
concluded that, our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of April 3, 2010. The Company’s independent registered
public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, has issued an audit report on our internal control over financial reporting which
appears on page 50 of this Form 10-K.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
