Summary of Disclosure and Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting (ICFR)
Management's Conclusions on Control Effectiveness
Management has concluded that both its disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2021. This conclusion is supported by both management’s self-assessment and the independent auditor’s opinion.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures (DCP)
- Conclusion: Effective.
- Evidence: The principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer concluded that DCP were effective in "alerting them in a timely manner to material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed with the SEC."
Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICFR)
- Conclusion: Effective.
- Evidence: Management assessed ICFR based on the COSO 2013 Framework and concluded that the Company's internal control was effective as of December 31, 2021. This finding was corroborated by Deloitte & Touche LLP, which issued an unqualified opinion stating the Company maintained "in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting."
Identification of Deficiencies and Weaknesses
Material Weaknesses or Significant Deficiencies
- Finding: None identified. The provided text does not mention any material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in the company's controls.
Inherent Limitations (Noteworthy Caveat)
- Observation: Management acknowledges inherent limitations in all internal control systems.
- Evidence: The report notes that effective ICFR "can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation," and because of these limitations, the system "may not prevent or detect misstatements."
Changes and Remediation Efforts
Changes to Internal Controls (Noteworthy)
- Finding: No material changes were reported.
- Evidence: Management stated that there was "no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting."
Remediation Efforts and New Controls
- Finding: No specific remediation efforts or noteworthy new controls were detailed in this excerpt. The text indicates routine assessment was conducted ("management regularly assesses such controls") but does not elaborate on any recent enhancements beyond the standard maintenance of existing procedures.
