When assessing the effectiveness of internalcontrol over financial reporting and compliance with financial-related laws and regulations, management must follow the assessment process contained in Appendix A. Annually, management must provide assurances on internalcontrol in its Performance and Accountability Report, including a separate assurance on internalcontrol over financial reporting, along with a report on identified material weaknesses and corrective actions.
In addition, although we continually review and evaluate internalcontrol systems to allow management to report on the sufficiency of our internal controls, we cannot assure you that we will not discover additional weaknesses in our internalcontrol over financial reporting.
In addition to these efforts, we are in the process of documenting and testing our internalcontrol over financial reporting in order to report on the effectiveness of our internal controls as of December 31, 2012, as required following our initial public offering in 2011.
