 companies into the market, we expect competition to persist and intensify. Additionally, it is possible that larger companies with substantial resources that operate in adjacent accounting, finance, or compliance verticals may decide to pursue expense management automation and become immediate, significant competitors. Merger and acquisition activity in the technology industry could increase the likelihood that we compete with other large technology companies. 43 We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against any current, emerging, and future competitors or provide sufficiently differentiated products and services to our customer base in any of the markets we serve. Increasing competition from current and emerging competitors, consolidation of our competitors, the introduction of new technologies, and the continued expansion of existing technologies may force us to make changes to our business model, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. If our customers or users of our platform engage in, or are subject to, fraud, criminal activity, or inappropriate conduct, our reputation, brand, business, financial condition, and results of operations could be harmed. We are not able to control or predict the actions of our customers or users during their engagement with our platform or otherwise. We face the risk of criminal activity, fraud, and inappropriate conduct from users or individuals impersonating users on our platform.

This conduct has in the past involved, and may in the future involve, coordinated and complex fraud schemes that are difficult to detect and prevent. Given their complexity, such schemes have in the past persisted, and future schemes may also persist, for lengthy periods prior to detection. If our platform is perceived as a conduit for such activity or if we fail to effectively detect and prevent these threats, our brand reputation could be seriously damaged, resulting in negative press coverage, customer attrition, damage to our supplier relationships, and reduced market confidence. The financial impact of such fraudulent activities is often difficult to quantify quickly or with precision due to the complexity of certain of these schemes. Consequently, the negative effects on our financial results may continue into future periods or have a greater impact than initially anticipated, even after the fraudulent activity has been terminated. If the fraudulent activity occurs through systems controlled by any of our partners, such as our suppliers, we may be unable to remediate or prevent this activity in a timely manner or at all due to limitations in, or our ability to, interact with such systems.
