This excerpt taken from the ACI DEF 14A filed Mar 20, 2007. Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm
Ernst & Young LLP was our independent registered public
accounting firm for 2006. The Audit Committee of the board of
directors has engaged Ernst & Young LLP as independent
registered public accounting firm for 2007. Representatives of
Ernst & Young LLP will attend the annual meeting and
will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to
do so.
During 2006 and 2005, Ernst & Young LLP charged fees
for services rendered to us as follows:
The Audit Committee has adopted an audit and non-audit services
pre-approval policy that requires the committee, or the chairman
of the committee, to pre-approve services to be provided by our
independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit
Committee will consider whether the services to be provided by
the independent registered public accounting firm are prohibited
by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules on
auditor independence and whether the independent registered
public accounting firm is best positioned to provide the most
effective and efficient service. The Audit Committee is mindful
of the relationship between fees for audit and non-audit
services in deciding whether to pre-approve such services. The
Audit Committee has delegated to the chair of the committee
pre-approval authority between committee meetings and the chair
must report any pre-approval decisions to the committee at the
next regularly scheduled committee meeting.
