The Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibility of Electronic Arts Inc. (“EA”) and its stockholders with respect to:
- EA’s corporate accounting and financial reporting practices;
- The quality and integrity of EA’s consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) and reports required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”);
- Significant financial matters, including EA’s tax and treasury practices and policies;
- EA’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;
- The qualification, independence and performance of EA’s registered public accounting firm (the “independent auditor”); and
- EA’s internal audit function
It is not the role of the Committee to plan or conduct audits, to guarantee the accuracy or quality of EA’s financial statements or to determine that the financial statements are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and applicable laws and regulations. These are the responsibilities of management, the independent auditor and internal auditors. It is the responsibility of the Committee to maintain regular and open communication among the directors, the independent auditor, the internal auditors, and the financial management of EA.
