PRSS 2018 Proxy Statement
24 REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE The following report of the audit committee does not constitute soliciting material and shall not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other filing by CafePress under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The audit committee provides assistance to the Board in fulfilling its legal and fiduciary obligations in matters involving CafePress’ accounting, auditing, financial reporting, internal control and legal compliance functions by approving the services performed by CafePress’ independent accountants and reviewing their reports regarding CafePress’ accounting practices and systems of internal accounting controls as set forth in a written charter adopted by the Board. CafePress’ management is responsible for preparing CafePress’ financial statements and the independent registered public accountants are responsible for auditing those financial statements. The audit committee is responsible for overseeing the conduct of these activities by CafePress’ management and the independent registered public accountants. In this context, the audit committee has met and held discussions with management and the independent registered public accountants. Management represented to the audit committee that CafePress’ consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the audit committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the independent registered public accountants. The audit committee has discussed with the independent registered public accountants, matters required to be discussed by the statement on Auditing Standards No. 1301 (Communications with Audit Committees). In addition, the independent registered public accountants provided to the audit committee the written disclosures required by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Rule 3526 (Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence) and the audit committee and the independent registered public accountants have discussed such accountants’ independence from CafePress and its management, including the matters in those written disclosures. Additionally, the audit committee considered whether the provision of non-audit services was compatible with maintaining such accountants’ independence. The audit committee has discussed with management the procedures for selection of consultants and the related competitive bidding practices and fully considered whether those services provided by the independent registered public accountants are compatible with maintaining such accountant independence. The audit committee has discussed with CafePress’ internal and independent registered public accountants, with and without management present, their evaluations of CafePress’ internal accounting controls and the overall quality of CafePress’ financial reporting. In reliance on the reviews and discussions with management and the independent registered public accountants referred to above, the audit committee recommended to the Board, and the Board has approved, the inclusion of the audited financial statements in CafePress’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, for filing with the SEC. Respectfully submitted on March 26, 2018, by the members of the audit committee of the Board: Mr. Anthony C. Allen, Chairman Mr. Kenneth T. McBride Ms. Mary Ann Arico
