Alcoa CEO and CFO Certify Company's Financial Statements
PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 7, 2002--Alcoa Inc. (NYSE:AA)
announced that its Chairman and CEO, Alain Belda, and Executive Vice
President and CFO, Rick Kelson, signed and submitted sworn statements
today to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) affirming
the SEC filings made by the company in 2002.
"Alcoa has long had in place systems, procedures and controls to
ensure the accuracy of our results, and we continually refine and
improve upon these measures," said Belda. "This stems from our
long-held company values, which are designed to foster a culture of
integrity and accountability. Integrity is a bedrock principle upon
which Alcoa has operated in the 19th, 20th, and now the 21st century.
We will continue to think, act, and lead for the long-term.
"Alcoa supports the drive for better governance across the
corporate sector. We believe the New York Stock Exchange guidelines
and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act offer opportunities to
improve governance. Alcoa already has a strong internal governance
structure in place, and we anticipate no problem in fulfilling all of
the new requirements," said Belda.
Belda and Kelson's personal certifications, as well as the entire
certification process, were reviewed with the company's audit
committee. The personal certifications were submitted in accordance
with SEC Order No. 4-460. The documents covered include Alcoa's 10-K
for 2001, its 10-Q's for the first and second quarters of 2002, its
2002 proxy statement and all 8-K's filed in 2002 to the date of the
statements.
