nation's '100 Most Trustworthy Companies'
according to Forbes and Audit Integrity.
1st Source was selected for this honor from

practices and solid corporate governance and

both in our financial reporting and our
governance," said Christopher J. Murphy III,
Chairman of 1st Source. "Our bank's history
and core values have always emphasized
integrity in everything we do. We have
always believed that our numbers should
reflect what is actually going on, not an
optimistic interpretation of them. We are

eye on the long term and substantive
reporting is important to our long term
success. We are strong, stable, local and
personal and we want to be here tomorrow and

of clients. I'm proud of my colleagues who
record and report our financial results and
I'm proud of the bank for having received
this honor."

brush of negative sentiment, it is
definitely a positive when you are
recognized for your audit integrity," said

recognition as a 'Top 100 Most Trustworthy
Firm.'
