You may report your complaints or concerns anonymously and confidentially. The Audit Committee encourages you to supply contact information with your submission to facilitate clarification and any assistance with possible investigation. All complaints or concerns will be forwarded directly to the Chairman of the Audit Committee for review. The Audit Committee will maintain the confidentiality and anonymity of persons making complaints or expressing concerns to the fullest extent reasonably practicable within the legitimate needs of law and any ensuing evaluation or investigation.
To assist the Audit Committee in reviewing and, if necessary, investigating your complaints or concerns, you should provide as much factual, rather than speculative, information as possible. To the extent possible, you should include the following information in your submission:
- the alleged event, matter or issue that is the subject of the complaint or concern;
- the name of each person involved;
- if the complaint or concern involves a specific event or events, the approximate date and location of each event; and
any additional information, documentation or other evidence available to support the complaint or concern.
