 cybersecurity, and updates to the Company’s information security management program. The Board also receives regular updates from the management team on financial and operating risks and is involved in strategic decisions related to the impact of these risks on our business. The Board does not have a standing risk management committee but rather administers this oversight function directly through the Board as a whole, as well as through various Board standing committees that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, our Board is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, including a determination of the nature and level of risk appropriate for the Company.

Our Audit Committee has the responsibility to review and discuss with management and the Company’s auditors the Company’s policies on financial reporting risk management and assessment. The Audit Committee provides regular reports to the Board of Directors about material issues affecting the quality or integrity of the Company’s financial statements, compliance with legal or regulatory requirements, the performance or independence of the Company’s auditors, and other matters as the Audit Committee deems appropriate. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee periodically reviews and assesses the effectiveness of our corporate governance guidelines. Our Compensation Committee reviews our employee compensation practices and policies as they relate to risk management and risk-taking incentives to determine if such compensation policies and practices are reasonably likely to have a material, adverse effect on the Company. Typically, the Board as a whole meets with the key employees responsible for risk management, including cybersecurity, at least annually. Both the Board as a whole and the various standing committees receive periodic reports from our risk management leaders, as well as incidental reports as matters may arise. It is the responsibility of the committee chairs to report findings regarding material risk exposures to the Board as quickly as possible.
