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) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness, as of June 30, 2019, of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under this framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2019 due as described below.
Management did not maintain effective procedures in the areas of review of our annual report on Form 10-K, review of third-party valuation reports and income taxes. These material weaknesses resulted from the lack of timely and effective review of the Company’s period-end closing process and adequate personnel and resources. Specifically,
? The Company’s Form 10-Q and other filings need to be reviewed thoroughly by management on a timely basis. Management’s responsibility is to oversee that the Company is capable of developing accurate and timely financial information. The Company must reinforce procedures to ensure that Form 10-K as well as other required filings are done on a timely and accurate basis.
? The Company is small and does not have sufficient staff to maintain satisfactory separation of duties.
? Management reviewed all information available to them from the outside consultant’s valuation reports, which included all external models, however, all inputs of the consultants’ model were not available to management and were not verified by the management. A more thorough review which includes all inputs of the models used by the consultants will ensure no additional journal entries need to be recorded.
? Management identified a few non-material unauthorized payments and access to internal systems by a former officer that occurred during the past 27 months. We have taken remediation steps including establishing a weekly review and approval of all payables, separation of duties for entry of payables, separate banking account to fund payroll, utilizing a payroll manager to secure control of payroll releases with a separation of duties and now employ a chief security officer to review all system access and password management.
Remediation Plan
Management is committed to remediating each of the material weaknesses identified above. We have recruited experienced US GAAP/financial reporting professional to augment and upgrade our finance and accounting staff to address issues of accuracy, completeness, adequate segregation of duties, and timeliness in financial statement preparation and reporting. However, we may be unable to remediate this weakness until we have received additional funding that may be necessary to hire additional personnel. Until we have sufficient internal finance and accounting staff, we plan to work closely with external financial advisors to review and monitor our accounting procedures, perform internal audit procedures, and to prepare our consolidated financial statements and reports. In addition, we do not believe we have sufficient documentation with our existing financial processes, risk assessment and internal controls. Until we have sufficient internal finance and accounting staff, we plan to work closely with external financial advisors to document the existing financial processes, risk assessment, and internal controls systematically. We believe our recently hired accounting personnel, or through professional engagement of consultants, payroll manager for separation of duties from banking accounts and approvals will improve our documentation and internal control processes and procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the last fiscal quarter, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, except as set forth above.
