1. Major failure of BK&D CPAs are as follows:-
a. Portions of the report by PCAOB may describe deficiencies or potential deficiencies in the
systems, policies, procedures, practices, or conduct of the firm that is the subject of this report.
The express inclusion of certain deficiencies and potential deficiencies, however, should not be
construed to support any negative inference that any other aspect of the firm\'s systems, policies,
procedures, practices, or conduct is approved or condoned by the Board or judged by the Board
to comply with laws, rules, and professional standards.
b. Any references in this report to violations or potential violations of law, rules, or professional
standards should be understood in the supervisory context in which this report was prepared.
Any such references are not a result of an adversarial adjudicative process and do not constitute
conclusive findings of fact or of violations for purposes of imposing legal liability. Similarly, any
description herein of a firm\'s cooperation in addressing issues constructively should not be
construed, and is not construed by the Board, as an admission, for purposes of potential legal
liability, of any violation.
c. Board inspections encompass, among other things, whether the firm has failed to identify
financial statement misstatements, including failures to comply with Securities and Exchange
Commission (\"SEC\" or \"Commission\") disclosure requirements, in its audits of financial
statements. This report\'s descriptions of any such auditing failures necessarily involve
descriptions of the apparent misstatements or disclosure departures. The Board, however, has no
authority to prescribe the form or content of an issuer\'s financial statements. That authority, and
the authority to make binding determinations concerning whether an issuer\'s financial
statements are misstated or fail to comply with Commission disclosure requirements, rests with
the Commission. Any description, in this report, of financial statement misstatements or failures
to comply with Commission disclosure requirements should not be understood as an indication
that the Commission has considered or made any determination regarding these issues unless
otherwise expressly stated.
2. Analytical procedures are one of many financial audit processes which help an auditor
understand the client\'s business and changes in the business, and to identify potentialrisk areas
to plan other audit procedures.
The objective of analytical procedures used in the overall review stage
of the audit is to assist the auditor in assessing the conclusions reached and in
the evaluation of the overall financial statement presentation. A wide variety of
analytical procedures may be useful for this purpose. The overall review would
generally include reading the financial statements and notes and considering
(a) the adequacy of evidence gathered in response to unusual or unexpected
balances identified in planning the audit or in the c.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

external auditor to the provision of audit and audit-related services, as well as permissible
tax-related services.
Auditor Reports: The Committee receives and reviews on an at least annual basis written
reports from the external auditor (a) regarding its independence, describing all
relationships, if any, between the external auditor and the Company, including those
contemplated by Independence Standards Board Standard No.1 and (b) describing the
firm’s internal quality-control procedures, including any material issues raised by the
most recent internal quality control review or peer review of the firm or by any inquiry or
investigation by any governmental or professional authorities in the last five years
respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm, and any steps taken by
the firm to deal with any such issues. The Committee actively engages in a dialogue with
the external auditor with respect to these reports. The Committee also reviews all
3
4. management letters provided to the Company by the external auditor and monitors
management’s response to the recommendations.
Evaluation of the External Auditor: After reviewing the reports described above and the
external auditor’s work throughout the year, the Committee evaluates the qualifications,
performance and independence of the external auditors, the competence, experience and
qualifications of the lead partner and senior members of the external auditors’ team, and
the quality control procedures of the external auditors. In making this evaluation, the
Committee takes into account the opinions of management and the Company’s internal
auditors. The Committee presents its conclusions with respect to the external auditors to
the board of directors.
Oversight of Internal Auditors
Reporting Relationship: The Committee reviews the organization of the Company’s
internal audit department, including its staffing and budget. The director of internal audit
reports directly to the Committee and may not be replaced without the prior approval of
the Committee.
Oversight of Activity: The Committee also regularly reviews the programs maintained
by the Company’s internal audit department, including fraud-related activities. To that
end, the Committee reviews at least annually the risk assessment process employed by
the internal audit department and the results of the risk assessment process. In addition,
the Committee reviews the process maintained by the internal audit department to track
its activities, findings and follow-up by management on internal audit department
recommendations. The Committee reviews significant internal audit department findings
and recommendations to Company management, as well as the responses to the
recommendations. Finally, the Committee ensures there are no inappropriate restrictions
imposed by Company management that impair the ability of the internal audit department
to perform its function or access necessary information.
Discussion of Risk Management Policies: The Committee discusses with management
and the external auditors, as appropriate, the Company’s risk assessment and risk
management policies, including (a) the guidelines and policies by which management
assesses and manages the Company’s exposure to risk, and (b) the Company’s major
financial risk exposures and steps taken by management to monitor and control such
exposures.
Oversight of Related Party Transactions
The Committee establishes and implements policies and procedures for the review and
approval or disapproval of related party transactions as defined by NASDAQ Rule
4350(h).

5. Membership of the Committee
Composition and Qualifications: The Committee is composed of no less than three
directors, one of whom serves as chairperson and all of whom are independent under
NASDAQ listing standards and Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended.
Each member of the Committee must be able to read and understand fundamental
financial statements, including the Company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash
flow statement. In addition, at least one member of the Committee must be designated by
the board as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
In addition, because of the demanding role and responsibility of serving on an audit
committee, no member of the Committee may serve on more than two other audit
committees of publicly traded companies. In the event a member of the Committee
accepts membership on more than two other such audit committees, he or she shall
immediately submit his or her resignation from the Committee to the chairperson of the
nominating and corporate governance committee.
Tenure: Committee members are appointed and removed, and the chairperson of the
Committee chosen by, a majority of the full board of directors, upon the recommendation
of the nominating and corporate governance committee.
Meetings of the Committee
Meetings: The Committee typically meets at least four times each year in conjunction
with the board of directors regular meetings and telephonically four additional times each
year prior to the Company making its quarterly and annual SEC filings. Meeting agendas
are prepared and provided in advance to the Committee, together with the appropriate
briefing materials. The Committee maintains minutes or other records of meetings and
activities.
At each Committee regular meeting, the Committee meets in separate sessions, without
other representatives of Company management, with the external auditors and with our
director of internal audit. In addition, the Committee meets on a regular basis in
executive session with the senior vice presidents of legal and finance. Other persons,
including management, other directors or outside advisers, may attend meetings of the
Committee in the Committee’s sole discretion.
Reports to the Full Board: The Committee reports and makes recommendations as
appropriate to the board of directors with respect to its meetings and activities, including
with respect to the quality or integrity of the Company’s financial statements, the
Company’s compliance with legal or regulatory requirements, the performance and
independence of the Company’s external auditors and the performance of the internal
audit function.

6. Policy on Hiring Employees or Former Employees of the External Auditor
The Committee believes that it may be beneficial from time to time for the Company to
hire employees or former employees of our external auditor, including employees who
have worked on our audits. These individuals’ talents, and their familiarity with the
Company and its processes and controls, may make them valuable associates. However,
to ensure an appropriate level of independence between our external auditor and internal
staff, the Committee sets clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the
external auditors and must (a) pre-approve the hiring of any individual to a director- or
officer-level position in the Company if the individual has been a member of our external
audit team in the previous two years and (b) review no less than annually a list of all
individuals hired by the Company, regardless of position, who had been employed by the
external audit firm in the previous three years, regardless of whether they were a member
of the Company’s external audit team.
Process for Handling Certain Complaints
The Committee maintains procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of
complaints regarding the Company’s accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing
matters. As part of the Committee’s procedure for receiving and handling these
complaints, the Company retains an independent company to maintain an anonymous,
confidential, toll-free telephone number for receiving complaints, including complaints
regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters. The existence of this telephone
number is published on the Company’s website and in all applicable Company
compliance policies, with notice that calls relating to these matters will be provided
directly to a representative of the Committee.
A full transcript of all such calls is provided to the chairperson of the Committee, the
Company’s general counsel and the Company’s senior director of compliance. Calls are
investigated as directed by the chairperson of the Committee and tracked separately. The
status of any investigation is reported to the Committee at each meeting, to receive
direction from the Committee and to allow the Committee to ensure appropriate follow-
up.
Other Matters
Authority and Delegation: The Committee maintains the ultimate authority to appoint,
compensate, retain and oversee the work of any registered public accounting firm
engaged for the purposes of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other
audit, review or attest services for the Company. With regard to all other matters
described in this charter, the Committee has the full power and authority to act in support
of the board of directors, which retains the ultimate authority in these matters, except as
otherwise required by law or the NASDAQ rules. The Committee may delegate authority
to its chairperson or any sub-committee unless prohibited by law.

regulations to be included in the Proxy Statement.
Outside Advisors: The Committee has the authority to engage independent counsel and
financial advisors and such other advisors as it deems appropriate, the cost thereof to be

advisors, the Committee has the sole authority to approve the firm’s scope of assignment,
fees and other terms of its retention, as well as the firm’s termination.
Funding: The Company is required to provide adequate funding, as determined by the
Committee, to compensate the external auditors, compensate other Committee-retained
advisors and fund ordinary administrative expenses of the Committee.
Evaluations: At least once each year, the Committee evaluates its own performance.

reviewed by the chairperson of the Committee. The chairperson will discuss evaluation
results with the chairperson of the nominating and corporate governance committee and
