Petroleum News Alaska Staff

Conoco’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Archie Dunham, and Chief Financial Officer Bob Goldman, signed and filed sworn statements Aug. 9 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, affirming SEC filings made by the company in 2002.

Conoco said the documents for which Dunham and Goldman signed include Conoco’s 10-K for 2001, its 10-Qs for first and second quarters of 2002, its 8-Ks for the first and second quarters of 2002 and its 2002 proxy statement.

“Certifying our SEC filings merely validates our longstanding commitment to provide transparent financial information about Conoco,” Dunham said in a statement. “This is a fairly easy extension of the practice that Conoco has followed since our IPO in 1998 of including a signed Statement of Responsibility for Financial Statements in our annual report.”

Conoco said it has endorsed and will comply with the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and new SEC rules related to corporate governance and accounting.
