IAR: An accounting role is a role in which a person is in a position to, or does, exercise more than minimal influence over the contents of the accounting records or over anyone who prepares the accounting records, such as individuals in clerical positions responsible for accounting records (e.g., payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable, purchasing, sales) as well as individuals who report to people in financial reporting oversight roles (assistant controller, assistant treasurer, manager of internal audit, manager of financial reporting). Individuals in a financial reporting oversight role are also in an accounting role.

IFOR: A financial reporting oversight role is a role in which a person is in a position to, or does, exercise influence over the contents of the financial statements or related information (such as management's discussion and analysis) to be filed with the SEC, or over anyone who prepares them through, for example, direct responsibility or oversight of those persons.

Close Personal Relationship: A relationship that involves two individuals who (i) are members of the same family; (ii) share an intimate, sexual encounter or ongoing romantic or intimate relationship; (iii) share an ongoing friendship which demonstrates an emotional connection that supersedes the working, collegial relationship as the connection between two people and may cause others to feel excluded and question their objectivity, independence of judgment and fairness; or (iv) provide each other with domestic support, financial support or loan, employment or volunteer work.
