ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. ServiceMaster's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Jonathan P. Ward,
and ServiceMaster's President and Chief Financial Officer, Ernest J. Mrozek, have evaluated ServiceMaster's disclosure controls
and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K. ServiceMaster's disclosure controls and procedures include a
roll-up of financial and non-financial reporting that is consolidated in the principal executive office of ServiceMaster in Downers
Grove, Illinois. The reporting process is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by ServiceMaster in the
reports that it files with or submits to the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Messrs. Ward and Mrozek have
concluded that both the design and operation of ServiceMaster's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
See "Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting" in Item 8.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. No change in ServiceMaster's internal control over financial reporting
occurred during the fourth quarter of 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, ServiceMaster's
internal control over financial reporting.
Management Certifications. In June 2005, the Company submitted to the New York Stock Exchange the Annual CEO
Certification required by Section 303A.12(a) of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual. The Company has also
filed, as exhibits to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, the certifications of its Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
