Criteria or specific requirement: Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal controls over financial reporting. Management is responsible for the fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Effect: Potentially material misstatements in the financial statements and disclosures. Cause: Adjustments were made primarily as a result of audit procedures performed.
