Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, due to the material weakness described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2025.
Notwithstanding the material weakness, management has concluded that the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP.
Material Weakness
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We identified a material weakness which has been included in "Item 9A. Controls and Procedures—Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. We identified deficiencies in the design and operating effectiveness of controls within the revenue process. These deficiencies are related to certain business process controls primarily caused by a lack of sufficiently qualified personnel due to turnover, information technology general controls, including the failure to receive a service auditor’s report for our billing system hosted by a third-party, and insufficient monitoring controls over such third-party service provider. In the aggregate, these deficiencies created a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements might not be prevented or detected on a timely basis, and represent a material weakness.
Remediation Efforts with Respect to the Material Weakness
The process of implementing an effective system of internal control over financial reporting is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a financial reporting system that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations.
We have taken and will continue to take action to remediate this material weakness, including:
Hiring and training sufficiently qualified personnel with appropriate technical expertise within the revenue process;
Enhancing the effectiveness of our change management and user access controls over systems within the revenue process by strengthening policies, procedures, review processes, and documentation;
Enhancing our controls over the ongoing monitoring of third-party service providers to confirm their service auditor reports are timely provided to evidence design, implementation, and operating effectiveness of controls within the service organization’s framework of internal controls; and
Reassessing the design and effectiveness of controls over the timely input of complete and accurate customer contract information that is used for the processing and recording of billing and revenue transactions in our systems.
As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may decide to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or modify the remediation plans described above. We believe that these actions will remediate the material weakness, however the weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. Management believes the foregoing plans will effectively remediate the deficiencies constituting the material weakness.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than as described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
An effective internal control system, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error or overriding of controls, and therefore can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to reliable financial reporting. Because of its inherent limitations, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud. Effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements.
