 related to time spent on efforts to replace them, and our financial results and our business could be adversely affected. Additionally, we must continue to recruit, train, and develop management team members in order to achieve our current business objectives and execute on our succession plans. A failure to support leadership excellence through adequate resources, expectations and training required for growth or in the event of the loss of key members of our senior management team could jeopardize our ability to meet our business performance expectations and adversely affect our financial results.

Failure of internal controls may leave us susceptible to errors and fraud.

Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Furthermore, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, would be detected, particularly in our newly acquired companies and international operations. If our internal controls are unsuccessful, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

The trading price of our common stock has experienced significant volatility.

The market price of our stock has fluctuated substantially in the past and could fluctuate substantially in the future, based on a variety of factors, including our operating results; announcements of changes in government priorities; changes in general conditions in the economy and/or the staffing and consulting industries; announcements by our competitors; involvement in a significant litigation matter; a major change in our management; and short sales, hedging, and other derivative transactions in shares of our common stock. In addition, the stock market in general has experienced historical volatility that is unrelated to the operating performance of our Company. Broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating results. Among other things, volatility in our stock price could mean that investors will not be able to sell their shares at or above the prices they pay.  The volatility also could impair our ability in the future to offer common stock as a source of additional capital or as consideration in the acquisition of other businesses, or as compensation for our key employees.
