Cerner Corporation Audit Committee Charter

I. PURPOSE

The Audit Committee (the "Committee") is appointed by the Board to assist the Board in monitoring: a) the integrity of the financial statements of the Corporation; b) the independent registered public accounting firm's qualifications and independence; c) the performance of the Corporation's internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm; and, d) the compliance by the Corporation with legal and regulatory requirements.

The Committee will primarily fulfill these responsibilities by carrying out the activities enumerated in Section IV of this Charter. These responsibilities are in addition to those duties set out for a member of the Board.

II. COMPOSITION

The Committee shall be comprised of three or more directors as determined by the Board, each of whom shall be independent directors as defined in: (a) Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2) , and, (b) Section 10A(m)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") adopted thereunder, all as may be amended from time to time.

All members of the Committee shall be capable of reading and understanding fundamental financial statements, including the Corporation's balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. At least one member of the Committee shall: (a) have past employment experience in accounting or finance, requisite professional certification in accounting or any comparable experience or background which results in the individual's financial sophistication, including being or having been a chief executive officer, chief financial officer or other senior officer with financial oversight responsibilities, and, (b) qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by the Commission in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K, as amended from time to time. Committee members shall not simultaneously serve on the audit committees of more than two other public companies unless the Board determines that such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of such director to serve effectively on the Committee.

The members of the Committee shall be elected by the Board at the annual organizational meeting upon the recommendation of the Nominating, Governance & Public Policy Committee. Unless a Chair is recommended by the Nominating, Governance & Public Policy Committee and elected by the full Board, the members of the Committee may designate a Chair by majority vote of the full Committee membership.

III. MEETINGS

The Committee shall meet at least four times annually, or more frequently as circumstances dictate. As part of its job to foster open communication, the Committee shall meet with representatives of the Corporation's internal auditing group and the Corporation's independent registered public accounting firm in separate executive sessions. The Committee may request any officer or employee of the Corporation or the Corporation's outside counsel or independent registered public accounting firm to attend a meeting of the Committee or to meet with any members of, or consultants to, the Committee.

IV. RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES

1. Retention and Oversight of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

   The Committee has sole authority and direct responsibility to appoint, compensate, evaluate, retain, replace and oversee the work of the independent registered public accounting firm for the purpose of rendering or issuing an audit report or related work or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Corporation. The independent registered public accounting firm will report directly to the Committee and will, in all respects, be accountable to the Committee. Accordingly, the Committee shall have direct responsibility to:

   • Select, retain, and if necessary, replace the Corporation's independent registered public accounting firm, based upon the Committee's review of the independence and effectiveness of the independent registered public accounting firm.
   • Approve the fees and other compensation to be paid to the independent registered public accounting firm and the funding therefor. The Corporation shall provide for appropriate funding, as determined by the Committee as a committee of the Board, for payment of compensation to the independent registered public accounting firm for the purpose of rendering or issuing an audit report or related work or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Corporation.
   • Oversee the work of the independent registered public accounting firm (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent registered public accounting firm regarding financial reporting) for the purposes of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Corporation.
   • Evaluate the qualifications, performance and independence of the independent registered public accounting firm on an ongoing basis, including the following:
     • consider whether the provision of permitted non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the independent registered public accounting firm's independence.
     • obtain and review a report from the independent registered public accounting firm at least annually regarding: (a) the independent registered public accounting firm's internal quality-control procedures, (b) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities within the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the audit firm and (c) any steps taken to deal with any such issues.

Prior to such initial engagement, and thereafter, following receipt of each such report annually, the Committee will discuss with the independent registered public accounting firm any disclosed relationships or services that may impact the objectivity and independence of the independent registered public accounting firm, and if so determined by the Committee, will recommend that the Board take appropriate action to satisfy itself of the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. The Committee will also cause the independent registered public accounting firm to affirm, in writing, to the Committee that it is independent and in compliance with PCAOB rules and to document the substance of its discussion with the Committee.
     • review and evaluate the qualifications, performance and independence of the lead audit partner of the independent registered public accounting firm.
     • take into account the opinions of management and the senior internal auditing executive.

In lieu of pre-approving audit and permitted non-audit services, the Committee may establish policies and procedures for the engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm to perform such services, provided that the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the Committee is informed of such service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the Committee's responsibilities to management.

   • Prior to the filing of the respective audit report with the Commission, review with the independent registered public accounting firm the following items as to which the independent registered public accounting firm is required to report to the Committee: (a) all critical accounting policies and practices to be used, (b) all alternative treatments of material items within generally accepted accounting principles that have been discussed with management, ramifications of the use of such alternative disclosures and treatments, and the treatment preferred by the independent registered public accounting firm, and (c) other material written communications between the independent registered public accounting firm and management, including any management letter or schedule of unadjusted differences.

      2. disclosure controls and procedures.
   4. Review all material reports to management prepared by the internal auditing group and management's responses thereto.

   3. Review and reassess the adequacy of this Charter and recommend any changes to the Board on at least an annual basis.
