Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation and supervision of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, 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 on Form 10-Q. 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 this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that as a result of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. However, our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, has concluded that, notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly presented, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Previously Reported Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
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 would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. We did not design and maintain an effective risk assessment process at a precise enough level to identify risks of material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements related to evolving and growing areas of the business. This material weakness contributed to an additional material weakness around the design and maintenance of effective controls over the identification of and accounting for multi-period software license agreements. These material weaknesses resulted in immaterial misstatements to the interim and annual consolidated financial statements between 2021 and 2023 and the revision of the 2022 annual consolidated financial statements (balance sheet and the statement of cash flows) and 2023 interim condensed consolidated financial statements (balance sheet and the statement of cash flows) and the restatement of certain interim and annual consolidated financial statements between 2020 and 2023 as a result of errors in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows.
Additionally, these material weaknesses could result in further misstatements of the aforementioned account balances and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses
We are taking a number of steps to remediate these material weaknesses and to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. These remediation measures are ongoing and include revising policies and procedures and implementing additional training to support an effective risk assessment process over evolving and growing areas of the business. The implementation of these remediation measures is in progress and will require validation and testing of design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over multiple financial reporting cycles.
Changes in Internal Control
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
