Tone from the Top

Ethical leadership starts at the top. Our Board of Directors and its committees set clear expectations for ethics and compliance, regularly reviewing policies, governance best practices, and emerging risks to ensure our standards remain strong and forward-looking.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee oversees the integrity of Q2’s financial reporting, internal controls, and compliance programs. Our Internal Audit and Compliance teams provide quarterly updates on performance, training adherence, and regulatory compliance. The Committee also maintains oversight of our Related Party Transactions Policy to ensure transparency and accountability.

Risk and Compliance Committee

The Risk and Compliance Committee provides oversight of our enterprise risk management and compliance programs. Meeting quarterly, the Committee ensures our information systems and solutions adhere to applicable legal and regulatory standards, helping safeguard our customers and their account holders.

 

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees Q2’s governance guidelines, compliance with NYSE listing standards, and, together with the Audit Committee, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. The Committee also provides leadership on Q2’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategy and initiatives.

 

Committed Team

Our people are the foundation of Q2’s success. We’re guided by principles that promote integrity, accountability, and ethical conduct in every interaction - with our customers, partners, and each other. Every new Q2er receives our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics as part of onboarding and completes training on topics such as anticorruption, data protection, and confidentiality. We also maintain a global compliance hotline, available to all employees for confidential reporting of concerns or potential violations.
