Department to prepare the scope of its annual audit plan, subject to the review and approval of the Audit Committee. Internal
Audit prepares the risk assessment by conducting risk assessment interviews and surveys with management across
Windstream to identify individual process and Company-wide risks. An annual report on the top risks to Windstream
identified by this assessment process is presented to the Audit Committee and the full Board.
The Board’s discharge of its risk oversight role has not specifically affected the Board’s leadership structure
discussed above. Rather, in establishing the current leadership structure of the Board of Directors, risk oversight was one
factor among many considered. The Board regularly reviews its leadership structure and evaluates whether it, and the Board
as a whole, is functioning effectively. If in the future the Board believes that a change in its leadership structure is required
to, or potentially could, improve the Board’s risk oversight role, it may make any change it deems appropriate.
