Purpose: Coach’s Audit Committee is comprised solely of independent Directors.
The Audit Committee reviews Coach’s auditing, accounting, financial reporting and
internal control functions and has sole responsibility for the selection of independent
accountants and third-party internal auditors and for pre-approving audit and non-audit
services rendered by the independent accountants. In addition, the committee reviews
Coach’s accounting principles and financial reporting, as well as the independence of
Coach’s independent accountants. In discharging its duties, the Audit Committee:
|
- is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation determination
and oversight of Coach’s independent accountants and internal auditors;
- is directly responsible for pre-approving the audit and non-audit services
rendered by the independent accountants;
- meets independently with Coach’s internal auditors, its independent
accountants and senior management; and in executive session
- reviews the general scope of Coach’s accounting, financial reporting,
annual audit and internal audit program, matters relating to internal control
systems and the results of the annual audit; and
- reviews with Coach’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
the matters required to be personally certified by such officers in Coach’s
public filings and the procedures followed to prepare for such certifications.
|
Coach’s Board of Directors, in its business judgment, determines annually that all
members of the Audit Committee were “independent” as required by the New York Stock Exchange.
The Committee operates pursuant to a charter approved by the Board of Directors. The Audit
Committee has implemented procedures to ensure that during the course of each fiscal year
it devotes the attention that it deems necessary or appropriate to each of the matters
assigned to it under the Committee’s charter.
