Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2023. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Such information is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO determined that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2023, due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described in Management's Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting below.
Previously Disclosed Material Weaknesses
As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, we identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:
The Company did not design and implement effective controls over the completeness and accuracy of information produced by the entity ("IPE") and used by control owners in the operation of certain controls across the financial statement areas.
The Company did not design and implement effective controls in the financial reporting processes, including general information technology controls over access rights within certain financial reporting and accounting applications, which led to ineffective segregation of duties over the creation and review of journal entries and account reconciliations, including batch journal entries.
The Company did not design and implement effective controls over management’s review of established pricing and contract terms to support recorded revenue and accounts receivable for the DME Services Direct Payer Rentals, DME Services Product Sales, DME Services - Service and ITS Direct Payer Rentals.
During 2023, management implemented our previously disclosed remediation plan that included:
Designing and implementing controls that address the completeness and accuracy of IPE and underlying data used in the performance of controls over accounting transactions.
Reassessing and formalizing the design of certain policies relating to access rights and segregating key functions within our financial and information technology applications supporting our internal controls over financial reporting, specifically related to the segregation of duties over the creation and review of journal entries and account reconciliations, including batch journal entries.
Enhancing policies and procedures to generate documentation sufficient to support customer orders, pricing determinations, and implementing controls to evidence approved pricing and quantities to contractual revenue amounts within the Device Solutions Direct Payer Rentals (formerly known as DME Services Direct Payer Rentals), Device Solutions Product Sales (formerly known as DME Services Product Sales), Device Solutions – Service (formerly known as DME Services – Service), and Patient Services Direct Payer Rentals (formerly known as ITS Direct Payer Rentals).
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, we successfully completed the testing necessary to conclude that the material weaknesses disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 have been remediated.
Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting, based on the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Based on this assessment, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 due to the material weakness described below.
Material Weakness
A material weakness (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) is a deficiency, or a 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 consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management has determined that the Company had the following material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting during the period ended December 31, 2023:
The Company did not design and maintain effective internal controls over the adoption and ongoing application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") related to revenue recognition for the Company's rental revenue contracts under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases and ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Although this material weakness did not result in any material misstatement of our consolidated financial statements for the periods presented, and there were no changes to previously reported financial results, it could lead to a material misstatement of account balances or disclosures.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report, which is included below.
Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company has begun the process of, and is focused on, designing and implementing effective internal control measures to improve its internal control over financial reporting to remediate the material weakness identified above. The Company's internal control remediation efforts include the following:
The Company is in the process of designing and implementing controls that will improve the Company's ongoing application of US GAAP related to revenue recognition for the Company's rental revenue contracts under ASC Topic 842, Leases and ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Though the remediation plan is subject to continual review and revision, we expect the remediation plan described above will address the identified material weakness. The remediation plan is subject to oversight by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and the identified material weakness will not be considered remediated until the remediation plan has been fully implemented, the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and we have concluded that newly implemented controls are operating effectively.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except for the changes in connection with our implementation of the remediation plan discussed above, there have been no other changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act), during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations over Internal Controls and Procedures
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, its principle executive and principal financial officers, and effected by such company's board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, and that the receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving their objectives. Further, the design of a control system must reflect that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements or fraud. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of controls in 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.
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of InfuSystem Holdings, Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of InfuSystem Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness identified below on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, of the Company and our report dated April 9, 2024, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process 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. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 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.
Material Weakness
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weakness has been identified and included in management's assessment:
The Company did not design and maintain effective internal controls over the adoption and ongoing application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") related to revenue recognition for the Company's rental revenue contracts under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842, Leases and ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, of the Company, and this report does not affect our report on such financial statements.
