Item
9A(T) Controls and
Procedures
An
evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of
Bank of South Carolina Corporation’s management, including its President and
Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Treasurer, of the
effectiveness of Bank of South Carolina Corporation’s disclosure controls and
procedures as of December 31, 2008. Based on that evaluation, Bank of
South Carolina Corporation’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer
and Executive Vice President and Treasurer, has concluded that Bank of South
Carolina Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are
effective. During the fourth quarter of 2008, there was no change in
Bank of South Carolina Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting
that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Bank
of South Carolina Corporation’s internal control over financial
reporting.
Management’s Report on
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management
of Bank of South Carolina Corporation and its subsidiary The Bank of South
Carolina is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control
system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and the Board
of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published
financial statements.
Under the
supervision and with the participation of management, including the Principal
Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, the Company’s management
has evaluated the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2008, based on the framework established in a report entitled
“Internal Control-Integrated Framework Issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission” and the interpretive guidance issued
by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Release No. 34-55929.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation
of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The
Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. Based on
this assessment management believes that as of December 31, 2008, the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting was effective.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the
Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only
management’s report in this annual report.
The Audit
Committee, composed entirely of independent directors, meets periodically with
management, the Company’s internal auditor and Elliott Davis, LLC (separately
and jointly) to discuss audit, financial and related matters. Elliott
Davis, LLC and the internal auditor have direct access to the Audit
Committee.
