I
have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Bristow Group
Inc.;
|
|
2.
|
Based
on my knowledge, this report does not contain
any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary to make the
statements made, in light of the circumstances
under which such statements
were made, not misleading with respect to the
period covered by this
report;
|
|
3.
|
Based
on my knowledge, the financial statements,
and other financial information
included in this report, fairly present in
all material respects the
financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows of the
registrant as of, and for, the periods presented
in this
report;
|
|
4.
|
The
registrant’s other certifying officer and I are responsible
for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls
and procedures (as
defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal
control over financial reporting (as defined
in Exchange Act
Rules 13(a)-15(f) and 15(d)-(f)) for the registrant
and
have:
|
|
|
(a) Designed
such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused
such disclosure
controls and procedures to be designed under
our supervision, to ensure
that material information relating to the registrant,
including its
consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us
by others within those
entities, particularly during the period in which
this report is being
prepared;
|
|
|
|
|
|
(b) Designed
such internal control over financial reporting,
or caused such internal
control over financial reporting to be designed
under our supervision, to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting
principles;
|
|
|
|
|
|
(c) Evaluated
the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures
and presented in this report our conclusions
about the effectiveness of
the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the
end of the period covered by this report based
on such
evaluation; and
|
|
|
|
|
|
(d) Disclosed
in this report any change in the registrant’s internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during the
registrant’s most recent
fiscal quarter (the registrant’s fourth fiscal quarter in case of an
annual report) that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the registrants internal control
over financial
reporting; and
|
|
5.
|
The
registrant’s other certifying officer and I have disclosed,
based on our
most recent evaluation of internal control
over financial reporting, to
the registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of the registrant’s
board of directors (or persons performing equivalent
functions):
|
|
|
(a) All
significant deficiencies and material weaknesses
in the design or
operation of internal control over financial
reporting which are
reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant’s ability to record,
process, summarize and report financial
information; and
|
|
|
|
|
|
(b) Any
fraud, whether or not material, that involves
management or other
employees who have a significant role in the
registrant’s internal control
over financial reporting.
