The audit committee is directly responsible for the appointment of Corning's independent public accounting firm and is charged with reviewing and approving all services performed for us by the independent accounting firm and for reviewing the accounting firm's fees. The audit committee reviews the independent accounting firm's internal quality control procedures, reviews all relationships between the independent accounting firm and Corning in order to assess the accounting firm's independence, and monitors compliance with our policy regarding non-audit services, if any, rendered by the independent accounting firm. In addition, the audit committee ensures the regular rotation of the lead audit partner and concurring partner.

The board has determined that Mr. Williamson meets the qualifications for designation as a financial expert as defined in SEC rules through his experience as the chief executive officer of RGC Resources, Inc., a publicly-held company. The audit committee reviews and reassesses its charter as needed from time to time and will obtain the approval of the board for any proposed changes to its charter.

The audit committee oversees management's implementation of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting designed to ensure the integrity and accuracy of our financial statements and to ensure that we are able to timely record, process and report the information required for public disclosure. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the audit committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management and EFP Rotenberg LLP, our independent accounting firm. The audit committee also discussed with EFP Rotenberg LLP the matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, "Communication with Audit Committee." The audit committee reviewed with EFP Rotenberg LLP, which is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of our audited financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, its judgment as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of our accounting principles and other matters as are required to be discussed with the audit committee pursuant to generally accepted auditing standards.

In discharging its oversight responsibility as to the audit process, the audit committee obtained from our independent accounting firm a formal written statement describing all relationships between the independent accounting firm and us that might bear on the accounting firm's independence consistent with the requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and discussed with the accounting firm any relationships that may impact its objectivity and independence. In considering the accounting firm's independence, the audit committee also considered whether the non-audit services performed by the accounting firm on our behalf were compatible with maintaining the independence of the accounting firm.

In reliance upon (1) the audit committee's reviews and discussions with management and EFP Rotenberg LLP, (2) management's assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, and (3) the receipt of an opinion from EFP Rotenberg LLP dated December 28, 2012, stating that Corning's financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 are presented fairly, in all material respects, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the audit committee recommended to our board that these audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, for filing with the SEC.
