Audit Committee Charter

Audit Committee Charter

I Purpose
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of GeoVax Labs, Inc. (the “Company”) has established the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) to oversee the Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the Company’s financial statements. The Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the independent auditor, and shall also have all authority necessary to fulfill the duties and responsibilities assigned to the Committee in this Charter or otherwise assigned to it by the Board.

The function of the Committee is oversight. Management of the Company is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Company’s financial statements so that they comply with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and fairly present the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows; issuing financial reports that comply with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); and establishing and maintaining the Company’s financial reporting process, accounting policies, internal accounting controls and disclosure controls and procedures. The independent auditor is responsible for performing an audit of the Company’s annual financial statements, expressing an opinion as to the conformity of such annual financial statements with GAAP and reviewing the Company’s quarterly financial statements. Nothing contained in this Charter is intended to alter or impair the right of the members of the Committee under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) to rely, in discharging their oversight role, on the records of the Company and on other information presented to the Committee, the Board or the Company by its officers or employees or by the independent auditor.

As the Committee deems appropriate, it shall have access to the Company’s independent auditors, internal audit personnel and other internal staff and legal counsel, and also shall have the right to retain independent counsel, accounting and other advisors to assist the Committee in carrying out its duties without seeking Board approval with respect to the selection, fees or terms of engagement of any such advisors. The Company will provide the Committee with appropriate funding, as the Committee determines, for the payment of compensation to the Company’s independent auditor, outside counsel, and other advisors as it deems appropriate and administrative expenses of the Committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its duties.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, regulations and listing requirements, as the Committee deems appropriate, it may form and delegate authority to subcommittees and may delegate authority to one or more designated members of the Committee.
