Committee Report
The Company’s management has primary responsibility for the
Company’s financial statements and overall reporting
process, including the Company’s system of internal control
over financial reporting and assessing the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm audits the annual
financial statements prepared by management, expresses an
opinion as to whether those financial statements fairly present
the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of
the Company in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States and discusses with the Audit
Committee any issues that the independent registered public
accounting firm believes should be brought to its attention. The
Audit Committee oversees and monitors the Company’s
financial reporting process and the quality of its internal and
external audit process.
The Audit Committee has reviewed the Company’s audited
financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 28,
2008 and the notes thereto and discussed such financial
statements with management and Deloitte &
Table of Contents
Touche LLP, the Company’s independent registered public
accounting firm, acting as the Company’s independent
auditors. Management has represented to the Audit Committee that
the financial statements were prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The Audit Committee has discussed with Deloitte &
Touche LLP the matters required to be discussed by Statement on
Auditing Standards No. 61 (as amended), which includes,
among other items, the independent auditors’
responsibilities, any significant issues arising during the
audit and any other matters related to the conduct of the audit
of the Company’s financial statements. The Audit Committee
also discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP such other
matters as are required to be discussed by other standards of
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and other
applicable regulations.
The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the
letter from Deloitte & Touche LLP required by
applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board regarding Deloitte & Touche LLP’s
communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence,
and has discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP its
independence from the Company.
The Audit Committee also reviewed management’s report on
its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting and the independent
registered public accounting firm’s report on the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting. The Audit Committee discussed with
management and the independent registered public accounting firm
the prior material weaknesses and significant control
deficiencies identified during the course of management’s
previously reported assessments and the audit and
management’s remediation of them.
The Audit Committee discussed with the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope
and plans for its audit. The Audit Committee meets with the
independent registered public accounting firm, with and without
management present, to discuss the results of its examination,
its evaluation of the Company’s internal control, including
internal control over financial reporting, and the overall
quality of the Company’s financial reporting.
Conclusion
Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit
Committee recommended to the Company’s Board of Directors
that the Company’s audited financial statements and
management’s assessment of effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting be
included in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2008 for filing with
