KP3993 Resources Inc. (A Capital Pool Company) Management Discussion and Analysis For the year ended July 31, 2022 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
competitors, as well as overall market movements, may have a significant impact on the market price of the securities of the Company.
Reliance on Key Individuals
The success depends to a certain degree upon certain key members of the management. It is expected that these individuals will be a significant factor in the Company’s growth and success. The loss of the service of members of the management and certain key employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
7. INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Any system of internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
8. CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The critical judgment that the Company’s management has made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies that has the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Company’s financial statements is related to the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. For a summary of significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 2 of the financial statements. Management believes it has made estimates that best reflect the facts and circumstances; however, actual results may differ from estimates.
