Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
An evaluation was carried out by Embecta’s management, with the participation of Embecta’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Embecta’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 30, 2024. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were, as of the end of the period covered by this report, effective and designed to ensure that material information relating to Embecta and its consolidated subsidiaries would be made known to them by others within these entities.
In 2022, the Company commenced the process of implementing a new ERP system and other Business Continuity Processes to replace the existing systems provided by BD. The ERP system is designed to accurately maintain the Company's financial records used to report operating results. The implementation of the ERP system and other Business Continuity Processes is highly complex and will occur in phases across our geographies. The first phase of the implementation began in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023. The second phase began in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 and will continue thorough the fiscal year with the remaining phases expected to be completed in fiscal year 2025. A standardized internal control framework was implemented with each phase as we move away from relying on BD’s systems and controls.
The Company continues to evaluate the design and effectiveness of certain controls, including, but not limited to, the information technology controls supporting the recently implemented ERP system and certain controls supporting the Business Continuity Processes, which will continue through the end of this fiscal year and into fiscal year 2025 for Latin America and India.
Up until the second phase of the implementation of the Business Continuity Processes discussed previously, we relied on certain material processes and internal controls over financial reporting performed by BD. Subsequent to the second phase of this implementation, we have and will continue to rely on certain processes and internal controls over financial reporting performed by BD for Latin America and India.
Except as set forth above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Embecta's internal controls over financial reporting.
Dollar amounts are in millions except per share amounts or as otherwise specified.
