It is CSI's policy to maintain a system of internal controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions authorized by management are recorded and reported properly and that assets are safeguarded against loss or unauthorized use. Importantly the system of control is continually reviewed for its effectiveness and is augmented by written policies and guidelines, the careful selection and training of qualified personnel, and a strong program of internal audit.

The control environment is complemented by internal auditors who perform extensive audits and evaluate the adequacy of and the adherence to these controls, policies and procedures. In addition, the Company's independent public accountants have audited CSI's financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which include the consideration of the Company's internal controls to the extent necessary to form an independent opinion on the financial statements prepared by management.

The Board of Directors, through the Audit Committee, is responsible for assuring that management fulfills its responsibilities in the preparation of the Company's financial statements, the appointment of the independent accountants, and reviews with the independent accountants, management, and the internal auditors. The Audit Committee meets regularly with management, the internal auditors and the independent accountants, jointly and separately, to receive reports on management's process of implementation and administration of internal accounting controls, as well as auditing and financial reporting matters. The independent accountants and the internal auditors have unfettered access to the Audit Committee.
