Accurate and Complete Financial Records 

At Timken, Turning Ethics into Action for our shareholders means:

  • We maintain financial records that are accurate, complete and timely issued.
  • We maintain a system of internal controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that all transactions and access to corporate assets are only undertaken in accordance with management’s authorization.
  • We cooperate with internal and external auditors, internal investigations and government inquiries.
  • We adhere to record retention guidelines.
  • We protect our company’s assets and do not use them for our own personal gain.
  • We avoid conflicts of interest.
  • We give and receive gifts in good faith and without the intent to influence a business decision..

Our shareholders, fellow associates and the public depend on our financial information to make business decisions. In addition, laws and regulations require us to maintain accurate books and records.

 

We each have a responsibility to ensure corporate records fairly and accurately reflect all transactions and dispositions of our assets in reasonable detail. Never delay a necessary entry or make false or artificial entries in any company books or records for any reason. Further, never engage in or support any act that results in an entry that is not properly supported.

 

Payments will only be approved and made for purposes described in the documentation supporting the charge. We do not approve or make any payments that are to be used for any purpose other than that described by the document supporting the payment.
