Manage the issuance of separate company audited financial statements, including interaction with the external auditors.

4. Review and provide feedback on the earnings release, SEC Forms 10-K and 10-Q, FDIC Call Report, Federal Reserve Y-9C and Pillar 3 disclosures to ensure that the documents effectively communicate with stakeholders, while appropriately reflecting Truist's financial position and results of operations in compliance with GAAP and regulatory requirements.

6.
