Unremediated Control Weakness
Liftoff Mobile, Inc. reported in its quarterly filing that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2026, due to an unremediated material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. The weakness relates to a lack of effectively designed, implemented, and maintained IT general controls (ITGCs) over applications supporting financial reporting processes, specifically concerning formalized IT controls, segregation of duties, and sufficient IT resources.
The company is continuing its remediation efforts, which are expected to run through the remainder of 2026. These efforts include deploying an enhanced ITGC framework, implementing logical access and program change controls, enhancing technology tools for segregation of duties, and expanding internal and external advisory resources.
