Accuracy of Information — Financial Records — Legal Holds
Our Company
We Maintain Accurate Records
In this section, we'll cover:
Our Commitment
We maintain accurate, timely and complete books and records in compliance with applicable accounting principles (i.e., U.S. GAAP and local requirements) and our internal controls.
Employees with finance or accounting jobs have a special responsibility in this area. However, all of us contribute to the process of maintaining accurate records.
Why It’s Important
Investors, regulators and others rely on our accurate and complete business records and disclosures. Accurate information is essential so that we can make informed business decisions.
All Jabil employees are considered custodians of the records which they create. Not following our Records Management Policy can have serious consequences for Jabil.
