| Our reputation for integrity is a valuable asset. The Company is absolutely committed to accurate, honest financial reporting in all aspects of its business.
The Company is required to develop and maintain accounting systems that enable and support the preparation of accurate financial statements in accordance with applicable law, rules and accounting principles.
Internal accounting controls and record keeping policies have been established in order for the Company to meet both legal and business requirements. Associates are required to maintain and comply with those controls. While only a few associates maintain accounting records, most of us help keep Company records, such as time cards and expense reports. As business records, all of this information must be accurate and honest.
No associate shall, directly or indirectly, knowingly falsify, cause or allow to be falsified any book, record or account of the Company. This includes expense accounts, time cards, approval of vendor invoices, customer transaction records, or any other business record. No entries should be made that intentionally conceal the true nature of any transaction. No funds or accounts should be kept for purposes not fully and accurately disclosed. Unrecorded or "off the books" funds or assets may not be kept for any purpose.
All associates must protect Company assets and ensure their efficient use. The Company will not tolerate theft, misuse and waste of Company assets. All Company assets must be used strictly for legitimate Company business purposes. |
