Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
We obtain an engagement letter for all audit and non-audit services proposed to be performed during the year. The Audit Committee pre-approves the services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services, as follows:
| • | Audit services include professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the annual and review of the quarterly financial statements, as well as work that generally only the independent auditor can reasonably be expected to provide, including comfort letters related directly to audit procedures, statutory audits, and attest services and consultation regarding financial accounting and/or reporting standards. |
| • | Audit-Related services are for assurance and related services that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor, including due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions, employee benefit plan audits, and special procedures required to meet certain regulatory requirements. |
| • | Tax services include all services performed by the independent auditor’s tax personnel except those services specifically related to the audit of the financial statements, and includes fees in the areas of tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice. |
| • | Other Fees are those associated with services provided by the principal accountant not captured in the other categories. Examples include comfort letters related to other procedures, circle-ups, and related document reviews for company capital raise initiatives. |
