The board’s audit committee meets frequently during the year and discusses with management, our chief financial officer and our independent auditor: (a) current business trends affecting us; (b) the major risk exposures that we face; (c) the steps management has taken to monitor and control these risks; and (d) the adequacy of internal controls that could significantly affect our financial statements. The board also receives regular reports from senior management about business plans and opportunities, as well as the challenges and risks associated with implementing those plans and taking advantage of new opportunities. Board Committees Our board of directors has three standing committees: the audit committee, the nominating and corporate governance committee, and the compensation committee. Each member of the audit committee, the nominating and corporate governance committee, and the compensation committee meets the independence requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market for membership on the committees on which he or she serves. The audit committee, the nominating and corporate governance committee and the compensation committee each have the authority to retain independent advisors and consultants. We pay the fees and expenses of these advisors. Our board of directors has adopted a written charter for each of the audit committee, the nominating and corporate governance committee and the compensation committee. We have made each of these charters available through the Investors Relations page of our website at: https://ir.kvh.com/investor-resources/ committee-composition.

The audit committee assists the Board in overseeing the integrity of our financial statements, our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, our cybersecurity program, our independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence, and the performance of our independent registered public accounting firm. The audit committee is directly responsible for appointing, compensating, evaluating and, when necessary, terminating our independent registered public accounting firm.
