Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
−Removed: Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.
−Removed: Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were, in design and operation, effective at the reasonable assurance level.
+Added: Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.
+Added: Based on this evaluation, our management, including our CEO and our CFO, has concluded that, due to the material weakness described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2024 at a reasonable assurance level.
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within an organization have been detected.
+Added: Notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our management believes that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information included in this Quarterly Report for the three months ended March 31, 2024 fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates presented, and for the periods ended on such dates, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
+Added: Previously Reported Material Weaknesses
+Added: As reported in Part II, Item 9A.
+Added: “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, in connection with our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, our management identified certain control deficiencies in the area of our Information Technology General Control (“ITGC”) related to (i) user access and segregation of duty controls that restrict user and privileged access to appropriate personnel;
+Added: (ii) program change management controls;
+Added: and (iii) certain computer operations controls that, when aggregated, arise to a material weakness.
+Added: Management is committed to remediating the material weakness in a timely manner.
+Added: Our remediation process includes, but is not limited to:
+Added: (i) increasing timely reviews of information technology system changes made;
+Added: (ii) rationalizing access privileges for developer system users;
+Added: (iii) implementing or modifying controls related to program change management and certain computer operations;
+Added: and (iv) training of relevant personnel on the design and operation of any new or modified ITGCs.
+Added: These steps are subject to ongoing management review, as well as oversight by the audit committee of our board of directors.
+Added: Additional or modified measures may also be required to remediate the material weaknesses.
+Added: We will not be able to conclude that we have completely remediated the material weaknesses until the applicable controls are fully implemented and have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through formal testing, that the remediated controls are operating effectively.
+Added: We will continue to monitor the design and effectiveness of these and other processes, procedures, and controls and make any further changes management deems appropriate.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
−Removed: There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance, and not absolute assurance, that the objectives of the system are met.
−Removed: In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events.
−Removed: Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals in all future circumstances.
+Added: Other than the ongoing remediation efforts described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
