Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2021, the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Based on such evaluation, our CEO and our CFO have concluded that as of January 31, 2021, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting at its wholly owned subsidiary, WageWorks, described below.
Notwithstanding the ineffective disclosure controls and procedures as a result of the identified material weaknesses in its WageWorks subsidiary, management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
Management's report on internal control over financial reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed 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. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2021 based on criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) (“COSO Framework”) .
Based on that assessment, management has concluded that, as of January 31, 2021, due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting at its wholly owned subsidiary, WageWorks, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has audited the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2021. Its report appears in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Table of Contents
Management identified certain deficiencies in WageWorks' internal control over financial reporting that aggregated to material weaknesses in the following components of the “COSO Framework”:
Risk Assessment – The WageWorks subsidiary did not sufficiently identify and analyze risks arising from changes in the business environment, including risks arising in connection with the integration of acquisitions and financial system implementations.
Information and Communication – The WageWorks subsidiary did not establish cross-functional procedures and policies relating to effective information and communication necessary to support the functioning of internal control over financial reporting.
Monitoring – The WageWorks subsidiary did not implement effective monitoring controls that were responsive to changes in the business or the timely remediation of identified control deficiencies.
The COSO Framework component material weaknesses described above contributed to deficiencies at the control activity level that aggregated to the material weaknesses described below:
A. Accounting Close and Financial Reporting
The WageWorks subsidiary had inadequate process level and monitoring controls in the area of accounting close and financial reporting specifically, but not exclusively, around the review of account reconciliations, completeness and accuracy of data material to financial reporting, accounting estimates and related cut-off, the establishment, review, and implementation of accounting policies, and the review of the accuracy and completeness of certain manual and complex data feeds into journal entries and reconciliations of high-volume standard transactions.
B. Contract to Cash Process
The WageWorks subsidiary did not have effective controls around the contract-to-cash life cycle of service fees, including ineffective process level controls around billing set-up during customer implementation, managing change to existing customer billing terms and conditions, timely termination of customers, implementing complex and/or non-standard billing arrangements that require manual intervention or manual controls for billing to customers, processing timely adjustments, lack of robust, established and documented policies to assess collectability and reserve for revenue, bad debts and accounts receivable, availability of customer contracts, and reviews of non-standard contracts.
C. Information Technology General Controls
The WageWorks subsidiary did not have effective controls related to information technology general controls (ITGCs) in the areas of logical access and change-management over certain information technology systems that supported its financial reporting processes. WageWorks’ business process controls (automated and manual) that are dependent on the affected ITGCs were also deemed ineffective because they could have been adversely impacted.
These material weaknesses resulted in material misstatements of WageWorks' historical financial statements, which preceded the acquisition, and could result in a misstatement of our account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim condensed consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Remediation of Previously Reported Material Weakness
As previously reported, the WageWorks subsidiary had a material weakness related to the review of the accounting for new, unusual, or significant transactions. Management incorporated certain WageWorks processes into the Company’s existing entity-level and process-level controls to address the identification, review and assessment of new, unusual, or significant transactions at WageWorks. Management has concluded, following testing, that such controls are operating effectively, and that the material weakness was remediated as of January 31, 2021.
Ongoing Integration and Remediation Efforts
Management has assessed the impact of the acquisition of WageWorks on the Company's internal control over financial reporting and continues to assess changes driven by the integration of WageWorks with the existing operations at the consolidated Company. As part of this assessment, management has continued to evaluate the Company's internal control environment to ensure that it has appropriate controls in place to mitigate the risks of a material misstatement to its consolidated financial statements associated with the WageWorks subsidiary and the Company as a whole.

Table of Contents
In response to the COSO Framework component material weaknesses in the WageWorks subsidiary’s internal control over financial reporting, management has taken the following actions:
• performed a risk assessment and scoping of key systems and business processes, including a risk assessment at the financial statement assertion level to ensure that the level of precision of relevant controls is adequate to address the identified risks
• dedicated certain senior finance, accounting, and IT leadership team members to work on remediation efforts and appointed a third-party internal controls advisor to assist with such efforts
• developed a plan to implement a periodic assessment to monitor business changes impacting accounting processes and controls
• incorporated certain WageWorks processes into the Company’s existing entity-level controls
• established periodic reporting of the remediation plan progress to the Audit and Risk Committee; and
• developed a plan to formalize documentation underlying processes and controls to promote knowledge and information transfer across functions and upon personnel changes
In addition to the steps above, specifically to address material weaknesses “A” through “C” above, the Company took the following measures:
• incorporated certain WageWorks processes into the Company’s process-level controls, including, but not limited to, those that address the monitoring of the accounting close cycle and the evaluation of accounting policies;
• developed and have begun to execute a plan to consolidate service platforms related to the contract-to-cash cycle which will reduce a significant number of manual business process controls; and
• enhanced the design and have begun to monitor the operating effectiveness of controls related to logical access and change management for relevant WageWorks applications and systems.
As we continue to evaluate operating effectiveness and monitor improvements to our internal control over financial reporting, we may take additional measures to address control deficiencies or modify the remediation plan described above.
As part of our integration efforts, we have developed a plan to migrate to one enterprise resource planning “ERP” system for the consolidated Company that will enhance our business and financial processes and standardize our information systems.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than as described above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended January 31, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
