  Control Environment: The directives of the Board and Audit Committee; the integrity and ethical values of the Corporation’s officers and employees, including the “tone at the top”; the Corporation’s Code of Conduct; and the philosophy and operating style of management, including how employees are organized and how authority is delegated.
     
  Risk Assessment: The identification and analysis of relevant risks to achieving the goal of accurate and timely disclosure, forming a basis for determining how the risks should be managed.
     
  Control Activities: The procedures to ensure that necessary actions are taken to address and handle risks to achievement of objectives.
     
  Information and Communication: The accumulation, delivery and communication of financial information throughout (i.e., up, down and across) the organization.
     
  Monitoring: The assessment of the quality of the financial reporting systems over time through ongoing monitoring and separate evaluations, including through regular management supervision and reporting of deficiencies upstream.

The Committee may designate two or more individuals, at least one of whom shall be knowledgeable about financial reporting and another about law, who can, acting together, review Disclosure Statements when time does not permit full Committee review.

 

The Senior Officers at their option may, at any time and from time to time, assume any or all of the responsibilities of the Disclosure Committee identified in this Charter, including, for example, approving Disclosure Statements when time does not permit the full Committee (or the designated individuals) to meet or act.

The Committee shall adopt, whether formally or informally, such procedures as it deems necessary to facilitate the fulfillment of its responsibilities.
