Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), the principal executive officer, and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), the principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d - 15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as amended. Based on this evaluation, the Company concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021 specifically relating to information technology systems that support the Company’s financial reporting process were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as a result of the material weakness disclosed below.
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 Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s assessment included evaluation of key financial reporting controls, process documentation, accounting policies, and the Company’s overall control environment. 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 the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
As a result of this assessment, management identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to information technology general controls (ITGCs) in the areas of user access and certain automated and manual business process controls that are dependent on the affected ITGCs. Management has concluded that this deficiency constitutes a material weakness. Notwithstanding the material weakness, the Company’s management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements, included in the 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting standards.
Management Plans to Remediate Material Weakness. This material weakness did not result in any material misstatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. The Company has begun the process of designing and implementing effective internal control measures to improve its internal controls over financial reporting and remediate this material weakness. The Company’s efforts include modifying information technology general controls over user access and implementing additional controls designed to detect issues that may arise over user access and segregation of duties conflicts. We will consider the material weakness remediated after the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and management has concluded, through testing, that the controls are operating effectively .
