Atlas Lithium Corp 10-Q

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the design, operation, and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level. (b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the quarter ended March 31, 2023, that materially affected, or would be reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. (d) Limitations of the Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constrains and that management is required to apply judgement in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. 8 Table of Contents PART II OTHER INFORMATION FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements.
