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 and the Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of August 31, 2024.
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) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate over time.
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2024 based on the guidelines established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). Based on the results of our evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of August 31, 2024.
CMC's internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2024 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the fourth quarter of 2024, we executed a portion of a phased implementation of a new information system for our scrap metal recycling facilities, which will replace our existing information system for this line of business. The implementation was completed during the first quarter of 2025. There were changes in our internal control over financial reporting as this information system became operational at each scrap metal recycling facility. We took the necessary steps to monitor and maintain appropriate internal control over financial reporting during this period of change. Additionally, we provided training related to this application to individuals using the information system to carry out their job responsibilities. This information system change was not undertaken in response to any deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting.
There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended August 31, 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
