 as our Chairman of the Board. The Chairman of the Board position is a non-executive position and is separate from the position of Chief Executive Officer. Separating these positions allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus on our day-to-day business, while allowing the Chairman of the Board to lead our Board in its fundamental role of providing advice to and independent oversight of management. Our Board recognizes the time, effort and energy that the Chief Executive Officer is required to devote to his position in the current business environment, as well as the commitment required to serve as our Chairman, particularly as the Board’s oversight responsibilities continue to grow. Our Board believes that having separate positions, with a non-executive director serving as Chairman, is the appropriate leadership structure for our Company at this time and allows each of the positions to be carried out more effectively than if one person were tasked with both the day-to-day oversight of our business as well as leadership of our Board. Board’s Role in Managing Risk In general, management, particularly senior management and individual managers, is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks the company faces. This includes identifying, assessing, and controlling threats to the organization's capital, earnings, and operations, while the Board, acting as a whole and through the Audit and Finance Committee, has oversight responsibility for risk management. In its risk oversight role, the Board has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. Members of senior management attend the regular meetings of the Board and are available to address questions and concerns raised by the Board related to risk management. In addition, the Board holds regular discussions with management, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and the internal auditor, to identify major risk exposures and assess their potential financial impact on the Company and develop steps that could be taken to manage these risks. The Audit and Finance Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its risk management oversight responsibilities in financial reporting, internal controls and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit and Finance Committee reviews the Company’s financial statements and meets with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and internal auditor at least four times each year to review their respective reports on the adequacy and effectiveness of our internal audit and internal control systems, and to discuss policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. Code of Ethics and Business Conduct The Company maintains a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (the “Code of Ethics”) applicable to all of the Company’s officers, directors, employees, and other representatives.
