ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Ingevity maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to give reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in Ingevity's reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. These controls and procedures also give reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in such reports is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
As of September 30, 2023, Ingevity's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), together with management, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of Ingevity's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level described above.
b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have implemented a new global enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system, which has replaced our prior operating and financial systems. The implementation began with our pilot deployment in the first quarter of 2022, followed by our second deployment in the fourth quarter of 2022. The final phase of our ERP implementation occurred in early 2023. We have implemented updates and changes to our processes and related control activities as a result of this implementation and have evaluated the operating effectiveness of related key controls.
Except as described above, there have been no changes in Ingevity's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Ingevity's internal control over financial reporting.
