This excerpt taken from the PNC DEF 14A filed Mar 19, 2009.
The PNC Board of Directors has appointed an Audit Committee composed of six directors, each of whom is independent as defined in the New York Stock Exchange listing standards. Acting on the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Board of Directors has determined that each of Messrs. Chellgren and Kelson is an audit committee financial expert, as that term is defined in Securities and Exchange Commission rules.
The Board of Directors has approved a written charter for the Audit Committee. A copy of that charter, as approved and amended by the Board on February 14, 2008, is available on PNCs website at www.pnc.com. The Audit Committees job is one of oversight as set forth in its charter. It is not the duty of the Audit Committee to prepare PNCs consolidated financial statements, to plan or conduct audits, or to determine that PNCs financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. PNCs management is responsible for preparing PNCs consolidated financial statements and for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. PNCs management is also responsible for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. The independent auditors are responsible for the audit of PNCs consolidated financial statements and the audit of the effectiveness of PNCs internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the independent auditors are responsible for the audit of managements assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008.
The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed PNCs audited consolidated financial statements with management and with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, PNCs Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for 2008. The Audit Committee has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as PNCs independent auditors for 2009. A portion of the Audit Committees review and discussion of PNCs audited consolidated financial statements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP occurred in private sessions, without PNC management present.
The Audit Committee has discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61.
The Audit Committee has received from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP the written statements required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountants communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLPs independence with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, and has considered the compatibility of non-audit services with the auditors independence.
Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee has recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in PNCs Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
