NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORPORATION
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
No information is required in response to this item.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Relocation of Corporate Office
During the year ended December 31, 2011, we relocated our corporate office in Los Angeles, California and
corporate employees in Rosslyn, Virginia to our new corporate office in Falls Church, Virginia. These relocations
included approximately one-third of the employees from the former California corporate office and most of the
employees at the Rosslyn location. The Falls Church corporate office includes substantially all of our senior
corporate leadership team. This relocation did not affect our accounting policies and procedures or underlying
processes for the preparation of financial statements. We do not believe that this relocation had a material effect on
our internal controls over financial reporting.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our principal executive officer (Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President) and principal financial officer
(Corporate Vice President and Chief Financial Officer) have evaluated the company’s disclosure controls and
procedures as of December 31, 2011, and have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 USC § 78a et seq) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time
periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. These disclosure controls and
procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in the reports that we file or submit is accumulated and communicated to management, including the
principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the fourth quarter of 2011, no change occurred in the company’s internal control over financial reporting
that materially affected, or is likely to materially affect, the company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information
No information is required in response to this item.
