Audit Committee
 
The Audit Committee currently is comprised of Mr. Griffin, Ms. Mathews, Mr. Nelson and Ms. Peterson; Mr. Nelson is its chair. Each of the members of our Audit Committee is financially literate, as required under applicable New York Stock Exchange listing standards and is independent under those listing standards. In addition, the Board of Directors has determined that each of Mr. Nelson and Ms. Peterson possesses the experience and qualifications required of an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. No member of the Audit Committee serves on the audit committees of more than three public companies.
 
The Audit Committee is responsible for assisting the Board of Directors in fulfilling the oversight of:
 
  •  the integrity of our financial statements, financial reporting process and systems of internal accounting and financial controls;
 
  •  our compliance with legal and regulatory financial disclosure requirements;
 
  •  the independent auditors’ qualifications and independence; and
 
  •  the performance of our internal audit function and independent auditors.
 
The Audit Committee is also responsible for discussing policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, including significant financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor, control and report such exposures.
 
Under SEC rules and the Audit Committee’s charter, the Audit Committee must prepare a report that is to be included in our proxy statement relating to the annual meeting of stockholders or annual report filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the Audit Committee must review and discuss our annual audited financial statements and quarterly financial statements with management and the independent auditor and recommend, based on its review, that the Board of Directors include the annual financial statements in our annual report on Form 10-K.
