This turnover disrupted our financial reporting processes, and the firm did not adequately communicate the status of our filing obligations. As a result, we were unaware of whether an extension request had been submitted and discovered the lapse only after the filing deadline had passed. Upon becoming aware of the issue, we took immediate steps to engage a new bookkeeping team and address the filing requirements as quickly as possible. We deeply regret this oversight and are committed to improving our processes to ensure timely compliance in the future, including implementing stronger internal controls and directly monitoring filing deadlines.
