The Board of Directors believes that Mr. King’s service as both Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board is in the best interest of us and our stockholders. Mr. King possesses detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges we face and is thus best positioned to develop agendas, to ensure that the Board’s time and attention are focused on the most critical matters. His combined role enables decisive leadership, ensures clear accountability, and enhances our ability to communicate our message and strategy clearly and consistently to our stockholders, employees, and customers and suppliers.

 

Our Board of Directors believes that the independent directors provide effective oversight of management.

 

Board of Directors’ Role in the Oversight of Risk Management

 

The Board of Directors has designated the Audit Committee to take the lead in overseeing risk management at the Board of Directors level. Accordingly, the Audit Committee schedules time for periodic review of risk management, in addition to its other duties. In this role, the Audit Committee receives reports from management, independent registered public accounting firm, outside legal counsel, and other advisors, and strives to generate serious and thoughtful attention to our risk management process and system, the nature of the material risks we face, and the adequacy of our policies and procedures designed to respond to and mitigate these risks.

 

In addition to the formal compliance program, our Board of Directors encourage management to promote a corporate culture that understands risk management and incorporates it into our overall corporate strategy and day-to-day business operations.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management and has discussed such financial statements with the independent auditors.

 

The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the report from the independent accountant required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with the independent accountant the independent accountant’s independence. Based upon the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Management has the responsibility for the preparation and integrity of the Company's financial statements and the independent auditors have the responsibility for the audit of those statements. It is not the duty of the Audit Committee to conduct audits to determine that the Company’s financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In giving its recommendations, the Audit Committee considered (a) management's representation that such financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and (b) the report of the Company’s independent auditors with respect to such financial statements.
