terly reviews of our financial statements, and the audit of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting as promulgated by Section 404 of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The audit fees and expenses for
fiscal 2012 include the audits of two acquisitions, including the related purchase accounting.
(2) Audit-related fees and expenses consisted of fees and expenses for services that are reasonably related to the
performance of the audit and the review of our financial statements and that are not reported under “Audit

and fees for access to certain online accounting reference applications.

tax advice, tax planning and consultation services. Tax compliance services accounted for $50,000 and
$79,003 of the total tax fees in fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Audit Committee’s Pre-approval Policy and Procedures
Our Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit serv-
ices for the purpose of maintaining the independence of our registered public accounting firm. We may not
engage the independent registered public accounting firm to render any audit or non-audit service unless either
the service is approved in advance by the Audit Committee or the engagement to render the service is entered
into pursuant to the Audit Committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures. From time to time, the Audit
Committee may pre-approve services that are expected to be provided to Vistaprint by the independent registered
public accounting firm during the following 12 months. Any such pre-approval is detailed as to the particular
service or type of services to be provided and is also subject to a maximum dollar amount. At regularly scheduled
meetings of the Audit Committee, management or the independent registered public accounting firm report to the
Audit Committee regarding services actually provided to Vistaprint.
