AUDIT-RELATED MATTERS
Report of the Audit Committee
In accordance with its charter, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors assists the Board
of Directors in fulfilling responsibilities in a number of areas. These responsibilities include, among others:
(i) the appointment and oversight of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (“independent
auditor”), as well as the evaluation of the independent auditor’s qualifications, performance and independence;
(ii) the oversight of the Company’s internal audit function; (iii) the review of the Company’s financial statements
and the results of each external audit; (iv) the review of other matters with respect to the Company’s accounting,
auditing and financial reporting practices and procedures as the Audit Committee may find appropriate or may be
brought to its attention; and (v) the oversight of the Company’s compliance program. To assist it in fulfilling its
oversight and other duties, the Audit Committee regularly meets separately with the internal auditor, the
independent auditor and management.
Independent Auditor and Internal Audit Matters. The Audit Committee discusses with the Company’s
independent auditor its plan for the audits of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as well as reviews of the Company’s
quarterly financial statements. During 2014, the Audit Committee met regularly with the independent auditor,
with and without management present, to discuss the results of its audits and quarterly reviews of the Company’s
financial statements and the overall quality of the Company’s accounting principles. The Audit Committee has
also appointed, subject to stockholder ratification, Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”) as the Company’s independent
auditor for 2015, and the Board concurred in its appointment.
The Audit Committee reviews and approves the annual internal audit plan and meets regularly with the
representatives of the Company’s internal audit group, with and without management present, to review and
discuss the internal audit reports, including reports relating to operational, financial and compliance matters.
Financial Statements as of December 31, 2014. Management has the primary responsibility for the
financial statements and the reporting process, including its systems of internal and disclosure controls (including
internal control over financial reporting). The independent auditor is responsible for performing an independent
audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and expressing opinions on the conformity of the
consolidated financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and on the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting.
In this context, the Audit Committee has met and held discussions with management and the independent
auditor with respect to the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
Management represented to the Audit Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
In connection with its review of the Company’s year-end financial statements, the Audit Committee has
reviewed and discussed with management and the independent auditor the consolidated financial statements and
the independent auditor’s evaluation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Audit
Committee also discussed with the independent auditor the matters required to be discussed by the Statement on
