Approval Policies and Procedures
The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures concerning our independent registered public accounting firm, including the pre
-
approval
of services to be provided. Our Audit Committee pre
-
approved all of the services described above. The Audit Committee is responsible for the pre
-
approval of
all audit, audit
-
related, tax and non
-
audit services; however, pre
-
approval authority may be delegated to one or more members of the Audit Committee. The
details of any services approved under this delegation must be reported to the full Audit Committee at its next regular meeting. Our independent registered
public accounting firm is generally prohibited from providing certain non
-
audit services under our policy, which is more restrictive than the SEC rules related to
non
-
audit services. Any permissible non
-
audit service engagement must be specifically approved in advance by the Audit Committee. We provide quarterly
reporting to the Audit Committee regarding all audit, audit
-
related, tax and non
-
audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm.
