 fee ranges for each specific service, based on the committee’s determination that the provision of the services would not be likely to impair the accounting firm’s independence. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels require specific pre-approval by the committee. The pre-approval is effective for 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the committee specifically approves the provision of such services for a different period. The policy permits the committee to delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members to ensure prompt handling of unexpected matters, with such delegated pre-approvals to be ratified by the committee at its next meeting.

The following table presents fees for professional services provided by KPMG for 2024 and 2023, 100% of which were pre-approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to its pre-approval policy. The increase in audit fees for 2024 compared to 2023 were primarily due to additional IT systems in-scope, additional work for international tax regulation updates and legal entity restructuring.
