**ANNUAL AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

**A. Annual Audited Consolidated Financial Statements**

For the BCE annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “BCE 2014 Financial Statements”), see pages 112 to 154 of the BCE 2014 Annual Report (the “BCE 2014 Annual Report”), which BCE 2014 Financial Statements are contained in Exhibit 99.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.

**B. Management’s Discussion and Analysis**

For the BCE management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “BCE 2014 MD&A”), see pages 24 to 109 and page 155 of the BCE 2014 Annual Report, which BCE 2014 MD&A is contained in Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

**DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under Canadian or U.S. securities laws is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under those laws, and include controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that the information is accumulated and communicated to management, including BCE’s President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As at December 31, 2014, management evaluated, under the supervision of and with the participation of the CEO and the CFO, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the U.S. *Securities Exchange Act of 1934*, as amended, and under National Instrument 52-109 –*Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings*.

Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as at December 31, 2014.

**INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING**

**A. Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting**

The report of BCE’s management entitled “Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting” appearing at page 110 of the BCE 2014 Annual Report, which report is contained in Exhibit 99.3, is incorporated herein by reference.

**B. Auditors’ report on internal control over financial reporting**

The report of BCE’s external auditors concerning BCE’s internal control over financial reporting appearing at page 111 of the BCE 2014 Annual Report, which report is contained in Exhibit 99.3, is incorporated herein by reference.

**C. Changes in internal control over financial reporting**

There have been no changes during the year ended December 31, 2014 in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**STATEMENT REGARDING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

There can be no assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover all failures to disclose all material information otherwise required to be set forth in our disclosure. Furthermore, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance with respect to the reliability of financial reporting and financial statement preparation. Accordingly, BCE does not expect that BCE’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. BCE will continue to periodically review its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting and may make modifications from time to time as considered necessary or desirable.

**AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT**

In respect of the current members of BCE’s Audit Committee (Audit Committee), the board of directors of BCE determined that at least one of the members, being the current Chair of the Audit Committee, Mr. P.R. Weiss, is qualified as an "audit committee financial expert”, and that all members of the Audit Committee are independent under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange.

**CODE OF ETHICS**

All employees, directors and officers must follow Bell Canada’s Code of Business Conduct (the “Code of Conduct”), which provides guidelines for ethical behaviour. The Code of Conduct includes additional guidelines for executive officers, including the CEO, CFO, Controller and Treasurer. The Code of Conduct is available in the governance section of BCE’s website at BCE.ca and will be provided in print at no charge to any person who sends a written request by mail to BCE Inc. addressed to the Corporate Secretary, at 1, carrefour Alexander-Graham-Bell, Building A, 7th Floor, Verdun, Québec, Canada H3E 3B3.

Effective August 7, 2014, amendments were adopted to the Code of Conduct in order to:
- update the section entitled *Confidentiality of Customer and Employee Information*as it relates to the maintenance of supplier privacy; 
- update the section entitled *Information Classification and Records Management*to simplify the text by consolidating the different types of confidential information which must be safeguarded from disclosure;	
- clarify the section on employee-developed patents and other intellectual property;	
- clarify the provisions concerning the procurement of software and improper use of BCE-provided Internet access and e-mail; and

4

 

 
- update the Code of Conduct generally and, in particular, the section entitled	*Work Environment*to *(i)*recognize BCE’s unwavering respect for diversity, including its employees’ gender identity/expression and	*(ii)*expand the categories of prohibited discrimination to include discrimination based on aboriginal or indigenous status, language spoken, gender identity/expression and veteran status.

In addition to these aforementioned changes, certain other technical, administrative and non-substantive amendments were made to clarify or reorganize the Code of Conduct.

A copy of the Code of Conduct, as amended, has been filed on BCE’s website at BCE.ca and is included as Exhibit 99.4 to this Annual Report on Form 40-F.

**PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES**

Total fees for services provided for each fiscal year amounted to $10.2 million in 2014 and $10.5 million in 2013.
**Auditor Independence Policy**

BCE’s Auditor Independence Policy is a comprehensive policy governing all aspects of BCE’s relationship with the external auditors, including:
-  establishing a process for determining whether various audit and other services provided by the external auditors affect their independence;
-  identifying the services that the external auditors may and may not provide to BCE and its subsidiaries;

 

5

 

 
-  pre-approving all services to be provided by the external auditors of BCE and its subsidiaries; and
-  establishing a process outlining procedures when hiring current or former personnel of the external auditors in a financial oversight role to ensure auditor independence is maintained.

In particular, the policy specifies that:
-  the external auditors cannot be hired to provide any services falling within the prohibited services category, such as bookkeeping, financial information systems design and implementation and legal services;
-  for all audit or non-audit services falling within the permitted services category (such as prospectus, due diligence and non-statutory audits), a request for approval must be submitted to the Audit Committee prior to engaging the external auditors;
-  specific permitted services however are pre-approved annually and quarterly by the Audit Committee and consequently only require approval by the Executive Vice-President and CFO prior to engaging the external auditors; and
-  at each regularly scheduled Audit Committee meeting, a summary of all fees billed by the external auditors by type of service is presented. This summary includes the details of fees incurred within the pre-approval amounts.

The Auditor Independence Policy is available in the governance section of BCE’s website at BCE.ca.

In 2014 and 2013, BCE’s Audit Committee did not approve any audit-related, tax or other services pursuant to paragraph (c)(7) (i) (C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
