 Board provides broad oversight, various committees of the Board oversee risk management in their respective areas and regularly report on their activities to the entire Board.

The Audit Committee focuses on assessing and mitigating financial risk, including internal controls, and receives an annual risk assessment report from ACI’s internal auditors. As part of its annual audit, ACI’s independent registered accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, also provides the Audit Committee with a risk assessment identifying risks of material misstatements and related controls. The Audit Committee reviews these and other reports on risks facing the Company at its meetings throughout the year. The Audit Committee also reviews with management ACI’s enterprise risk management, business continuity and information security programs.

The Compensation Committee reviews and oversees the management of potential material risks related to ACI’s compensation policies and practices. Compensia, the independent compensation consultant retained by the Compensation Committee, provides an annual assessment of such risks. The Compensation Committee reviews this annual assessment and evaluates such risks as it considers compensation and benefits matters throughout the year.

The oversight roles of the Board and the committees are supported by management reporting processes that are designed to provide the Board and the committees with visibility into the identification, assessment and management of critical risks.
