Accounting and Records

The Company is committed to building trust by maintaining accurate, complete, and timely business records that reflect the true nature of its operations. While the Company is a privately held company and may not share financial information with the public, the Company does regularly provide financial information to shareholders, auditors, and regulators. When information is provided, the Company is candid, complete, and truthful.

The Company ensures financial transactions follow established processes to ensure control, cost efficiency, and global standardization. The Company also ensures that no individual associate has sole control over the life cycle of a transaction and critical tasks have shared responsibilities. You are responsible for the accuracy, confidentiality, and integrity of Company business records. Concealing or using false or misleading information in financial records is strictly prohibited.

You must also adhere to established records retention policies, ensuring that documents are stored securely, retained for the appropriate duration, and disposed of responsibly in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements. Finally, the Company is committed to responsible communication practices that support compliance, transparency, and data protection. To that end, ephemeral messaging tools—which automatically delete messages after a short period—are only used in accordance with Company policy and applicable laws. You must avoid using such tools for business communications unless explicitly authorized and ensure all records required for legal, regulatory, or operational purposes are properly retained.
