           the Company’s assets should be used for legitimate business purposes.
           Anyone spending Company money, or personal money that will be reim-
           bursed, should always be sure the Company receives good value in return.
           Anyone approving or certifying the correctness of a voucher or bill should
           have reasonable knowledge that the purchases and amounts are proper.
           Anyone responsible for the handling of Company assets, as well as associ-
           ated records and materials, is accountable for their safekeeping. In addition
           to cash, property and equipment, assets include checks and items such as
           Company credit cards.
             Fraud, or the act or intent to cheat, trick, steal, deceive or lie, is both
           dishonest and, in most cases, criminal. Intentional acts of fraud are subject
           to strict disciplinary action, including dismissal and possible civil and/or
           criminal action. It is important to understand what fraud can entail, so you
           can recognize it and avoid mistakes. Some examples include submitting
           false expense reports, forging or altering checks, misappropriating assets
           or misusing company property, unauthorized handling or reporting of trans-
           actions, or making an entry on Company records or financial statements
           that is not accurate and in accordance with proper accounting standards.
             Any fraudulent activity that violates applicable law or Company policy
           may result in disciplinary action, including discharge and/or disclosure to
           appropriate law enforcement officials.
