−Removed: Inherent Limitations
−Removed: – Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls
−Removed: and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud.
−Removed: A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide
−Removed: only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
−Removed: The design of any system of controls
−Removed: is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed
−Removed: in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
−Removed: Further, the design of a control system must reflect the
−Removed: fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
−Removed: Because of the inherent
−Removed: limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of
−Removed: fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.
−Removed: These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making
−Removed: can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake.
−Removed: In particular, many of our current processes rely upon
−Removed: manual reviews and processes to ensure that neither human error nor system weakness has resulted in erroneous reporting of financial data.
