The Audit Committee has adopted and is governed by a written charter. The Audit Committee Charter is available on the governance section of the Bank’s website at http://www.fhlbatl.com.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management.

AU section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T. The Audit Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from PricewaterhouseCoopers required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and has discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers its independence.
