The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company’s income tax process, including controls over the amounts recorded. We applied auditor judgment to determine the nature and extent of procedures to be performed over income tax expense. For certain taxing jurisdictions, we analyzed supporting documentation for the provision for income taxes. In addition, we involved tax professionals with specialized skills and knowledge who evaluated certain of the Company’s interpretations and applications of the tax rules and regulations. We evaluated the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained by assessing the results of procedures performed over income tax expense, including the appropriateness of the nature and extent of such evidence.
