Table of Contents
Framework. Based on our assessment we believe that, as of December 31, 2009, the Company's internal control over financial reporting is effective based on
those criteria.
Although the Company is not a "large accelerated filer" or an "accelerated filer" as those terms are defined by the SEC, and therefore not required to
provide an attestation report from its independent registered public accounting firm, the Company is voluntarily providing such report. Deloitte &
Touche LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. This attestation report is included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. No change in ServiceMaster's internal control over financial reporting occurred during the
fourth quarter of 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, ServiceMaster's internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
None.
PART III
ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Board is responsible for reviewing the qualifications of nominees for membership on the Board. Consideration of Board candidates typically
involves a series of internal discussions and review of information concerning candidates.
The Board does not have an audit committee or an audit committee financial expert because the Company is not a listed issuer under SEC rules and is not
required to have such.
DIRECTORS
