Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management is responsible for the information disclosed in this MD&A and the accompanying Financial Statements, and has in place appropriate information systems, procedures, and controls to ensure that information used internally by Management and disclosed externally is materially complete and reliable. In addition, the Company’s Audit Committee, on behalf of the Board, provides an oversight role with respect to all public financial disclosures made by the Company, and has reviewed and the Board has approved, this MD&A and the Financial Statements. The Audit Committee is also responsible for determining that Management fulfills its responsibilities in the financial control of operations, including Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (“ICFR”) and Disclosure Controls and Procedures (“DC&P”).
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate ICFR and DC&P. ICFR is a framework designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability and preparation of the unaudited interim condensed financial statements for external reporting in accordance with IFRS.
DC&P refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Enerflex’s financial reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported to the Company’s Management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Together, the ICFR and DC&P frameworks provide internal control over financial reporting and disclosure. Management recognizes that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Due to the inherent limitations of control systems, not all misstatements may be detected. For example, there may be faulty judgments in decision-making or breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the acts of individuals, by collusion of two or more people, or by Management override of the control. Controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the desired control objectives have been met.
Under the supervision, and with the participation, of Enerflex’s Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its ICFR and DC&P as of March 31, 2025, the end of the period covered by this MD&A. In conducting this evaluation, Management used the criteria described in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO 2013 Framework”).
Based on the Company’s evaluation, Management concluded that its ICFR and DC&P were effective as of March 31, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting:
Management regularly reviews its system of ICFR and makes changes to the Company’s processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency. There have been no significant additional changes in the design of the Company’s ICFR during the three months ended March 31, 2025, that would materially affect, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s ICFR.
