Table of Contents
The Audit Committee met ten (10) times during fiscal 2008.
The Audit Committee schedules its meetings with a view to
ensuring that it devotes appropriate attention to all of its
tasks. The Audit Committees meetings include, whenever
appropriate, executive sessions with the Companys
independent auditors without the presence of the Companys
management.
As part of its oversight of the Companys financial
statements, the Audit Committee reviews and discusses with both
management and the Companys independent auditors all
annual financial statements and quarterly operating results
prior to their issuance. During fiscal 2008, management advised
the Audit Committee that each set of financial statements
reviewed had been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and reviewed significant accounting and
disclosure issues with the Audit Committee. These reviews
included discussion with the outside auditors of matters
required to be discussed pursuant to Statement on Auditing
Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees)
as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1. AV
Section 380) and as adopted by the Public Accounting
Oversight Board in Rule 3200T, including the adoption of,
or changes to, the Companys significant internal auditing
and accounting principles and procedures as suggested by the
outside auditors, internal audit and management and any
management letters provided by the outside auditors and the
response to those letters. The Audit Committee has also received
the written disclosures and the letter from the Companys
independent accountant, Deloitte & Touche LLP
(sometimes referred to as D&T), required by applicable
requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
regarding D&Ts communications with the Audit
Committee concerning independence, and has had discussions with
D&T regarding their independence. The Audit Committee has
also received, reviewed and discussed with D&T the report
required by section 10A(k) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934.
Taking all of these reviews and discussions into account, the
undersigned Audit Committee members recommended to the Board of
Directors that the Board approve the inclusion of the
Companys audited financial statements in the
Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, for filing with
the SEC.
