Audit fees represent fees of Deloitte & Touche LLP for the audit of Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ annual consolidated financial statements, the review of financial statements included in Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ quarterly Form 10-Q reports, and the services that an independent auditor would customarily provide in connection with subsidiary audits, statutory requirements, regulatory filings, and similar engagements for the fiscal year, such as comfort letters, attest services, consents, and assistance with review of documents filed with the SEC.
Audit-related fees consist of assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ consolidated financial statements or internal control over financial reporting. This category may include fees related to the performance of audits and attest services not required by statute or regulations, due diligence related to mergers, acquisitions, and investments, and accounting consultations about the application of GAAP to proposed transactions.
Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas’ Boards of Directors have adopted the Dominion Energy Audit Committee pre-approval policy for their independent auditor’s services and fees and have delegated the execution of this policy to the Dominion Energy Audit Committee. In accordance with this delegation, each year the Dominion Energy Audit Committee pre-approves a schedule that details the services to be provided for the following year and an estimated charge for such services. At its February 2019 meeting, the Dominion Energy Audit Committee approved schedules of services and fees for 2019 inclusive of Virginia Power and Dominion Energy Gas. In accordance with the pre-approval policy, any changes to the pre-approved schedule may be pre-approved by the Dominion Energy Audit Committee or a delegated member of the Dominion Energy Audit Committee.
