This excerpt taken from the SYK DEF 14A filed Mar 20, 2009. AUDIT
COMMITTEE REPORT
We constitute the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of
Stryker Corporation. We serve in an oversight capacity and are
not intended to be part of Strykers operational or
managerial decision-making process. Management is responsible
for the preparation, integrity and fair presentation of
information in the consolidated financial statements, the
financial reporting process and internal control over financial
reporting. Strykers independent registered public
accounting firm is responsible for performing independent audits
of the consolidated financial statements and an audit of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2008. We monitor and oversee these processes.
We also approve the selection and appointment of Strykers
independent registered public accounting firm and recommend the
ratification of such selection and appointment to the Board.
In this context, we met and held discussions with management and
Ernst & Young LLP throughout the year and reported the
results of our activities to the Board of Directors. We
specifically did the following:
Based on the foregoing, the Audit Committee recommended to the
Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial
statements be included in the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2008.
