Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) are effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We began an implementation of an enterprise resource planning, ("ERP") system, which will replace the existing core financial system. The ERP system is designed to accurately maintain our financial records used to report operating results. The implementation of the consolidated financial reporting module was completed during the 2023 fiscal year. The implementation of the general ledger module is in progress and occurring in phases and is expected to be completed by the first half of 2024. The changes in process under the new ERP will continue to be subject to our evaluation of the operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.
Except for the implementation of an ERP system, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued in 2013 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2023.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness 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.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.
