 implemented appropriately, (ii) user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and that adequately restrict user and privileged access to financial applications, programs, and data to appropriate Company personnel, (iii) computer operations controls to ensure that critical batch jobs are monitored and data backups are authorized and monitored, and (iv) testing and approval controls for program development to ensure that new software development is aligned with business and IT requirements.

These IT deficiencies did not result in adjustments to the financial statements. However, the IT deficiencies, when aggregated, could impact maintaining effective segregation of duties, as well as the effectiveness of IT-dependent controls (such as automated controls that address the risk of material misstatement to one or more assertions, along with the IT controls and underlying data that support the effectiveness of system-generated data and reports) that could result in misstatements potentially impacting all financial statement accounts and disclosures that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has determined the IT deficiencies in the aggregate constitute a material weakness.

Remediation of Prior Material Weakness

Management previously identified a material weakness in the design and operating effectiveness of controls related to the accounting for certain non-routine or complex transactions, including the proper application of U.S. GAAP to such transactions. As of September 30, 2023, we finalized the design and were validating the effectiveness of controls to account for and disclose complex transactions. As of December 31, 2023, we validated the effectiveness of controls to account for and disclose complex transactions. The applicable controls have been in operation for a sufficient period of time, and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. Accordingly, the material weakness associated with the accounting for certain non-routine or complex transactions, including the proper application of U.S. GAAP, was remediated as of December 31, 2023.

Remediation Plan for Remaining Material Weaknesses

The Company is committed to remediating the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. We have implemented measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting to remediate these material weaknesses, and are refining the design and validating the effectiveness of these controls, including (i) ongoing hiring of additional accounting personnel; (ii) designing and implementing internal controls in
