This excerpt taken from the EOG DEF 14A filed Mar 25, 2009. General
For 2008 and 2007, we retained our principal auditors,
Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”),
independent public accountants, to provide services in the
following categories and, in consideration of such services,
paid to Deloitte the following amounts:
Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed for
professional services rendered by Deloitte for the audit of our
financial statements for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and the
reviews of the financial statements included in our
Forms 10-Q
for such years, were $2,044,474 and $1,989,271, respectively.
Audit-Related Fees. The aggregate fees billed
for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31,
2007 for assurance and related services rendered by Deloitte
that were reasonably related to the performance of the audit or
review of our financial statements, but not reportable as Audit
Fees above, were $324,863 and $128,733, respectively.
Audit-Related Fees for 2008 were for (1) financial
statement audit work relating to the February 2008 sale of a
majority of our assets and surrounding acreage in the
Appalachian Basin (a substantial portion of such fees were
reimbursed by the purchaser) and (2) audits of our benefit
plans. Audit-Related Fees for 2007 were primarily for audits of
our benefit plans.
Tax Fees. The aggregate fees billed for the
year ended December 31, 2008 for tax compliance, tax advice
and tax planning services rendered by Deloitte were $38,780.
Such fees were for tax compliance services provided to certain
of our expatriate employees. There were no professional services
rendered by Deloitte for tax compliance, tax advice and tax
planning for the year ended December 31, 2007.
All Other Fees. The aggregate fees billed for
services rendered by Deloitte not reportable as Audit Fees,
Audit-Related Fees or Tax Fees above for the years ended
December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were $169,830
and $108,599, respectively. All Other Fees for 2008 primarily
related to comfort letter work with respect to our September
2008 offering of our 6.125% Senior Notes due 2013 and
6.875% Senior Notes due 2018, and services rendered with
respect to our Canadian subsidiary indebtedness. All Other Fees
for 2007 primarily related to comfort letter work with respect
to our September 2007 offering of our 5.875% Senior Notes
due 2017.
Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit
Services. The Audit Committee pre-approves all
audit and non-audit services provided to us by our independent
auditors at the first meeting of each calendar year and at
subsequent meetings as necessary. The non-audit services to be
provided are specified and shall not exceed a specified dollar
limit.
Management is directed to provide a report to the Audit
Committee at each meeting of the Audit Committee showing in
reasonable detail the services provided by the independent
auditors to us since the beginning of the calendar year, as well
as the then-estimated cost to-date of audit and non-audit
services.
During the course of a year, if additional non-audit services
are deemed to be appropriate or advisable, these services are
presented to the Audit Committee for pre-approval, subject to
the availability of the de minimus exception for
non-audit services set forth in Section 202 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”) and in
Rule 2-01
of
Regulation S-X.
None of the services rendered by Deloitte for the years ended
December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and reportable
as Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees or All Other Fees above were
approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to such
de minimus exception.
The Audit Committee has delegated to the Chairman of the Audit
Committee the authority to approve non-audit services provided
by the independent auditors to us pursuant to the
de minimus exception for non-audit services referred
to above and set forth in SOX Section 202 and in
Rule 2-01
of
Regulation S-X.
