Our Board of Directors and management team are committed to principles of good corporate governance which are consistent with prudent management. These principles emphasize transparency, accountability and independence. Risks are inherent in our business and the markets in which we operate. We recognize that risk management is the responsibility of all of our people as an integral part of our day-to-day business process.
Our risk management and internal control system is designed to manage the risk of failure to achieve our corporate objectives and provides reasonable, but not absolute assurance against material misstatement, loss or fraud, and to achieve long-term business success.
