委员会只起到监督职能，并不能解脱管理层在起草财务报表中准确公平地说明财务结果以及情况的职责，也不能解脱独立审计师审计或检查财务报告应负的责任。
Organization
组织结构
Number of members
The Committee must consist of at least one director. The Board may designate a committee member as the chairperson of the Committee, or if the Board does not do so, the committee members will appoint a committee member as chairperson by a majority vote of the authorized number of committee members.

委员会必须至少由一名董事组成。董事会可指派一名委员会成员担任主席；如果董事会未指定，那么由获得授权的委员会成员进行投票，得票数居多的担任委员会主席。
Independence
All committee members must have been determined by the Board to be independent, as defined and to the extent required in the applicable SEC rules and NYSE listing standards, as they may be amended from time to time (the “listing standards”), for purposes of audit committee membership.

必须由董事会认定委员会所有的成员符合证监会规则和纽约证券交易所上市标准（时不时可能被修订，简称“上市标准”）所定义的独立性。
Financial literacy
