American Software files FY23 10-K/A and Q1 FY24 10-Q/A

American Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMSWA) today announced that it filed a Form 10-K/A for the year ended April 30, 2023 and Form 10-Q/A for the three month period ended July 31, 2023 related to a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting.

As previously disclosed on Form 8-K filed with SEC on December 1, 2023, following American Software’s divestiture of The Proven Method on September 18, 2023, American Software identified an error resulting in an immaterial understatement of expenses from operations and liabilities relating to a control deficiency. Following identification of the error, American Software has determined that the error did not result in a material misstatement of the Company’s previously issued financial statements and that such financial statements may continue to be relied upon.

American Software has concluded that its report regarding the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”) and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three month period ended July 31, 2023 should be amended as stated in the 10-K/A and 10-Q/A, respectively. Additionally, American Software’s outside auditor, KPMG LLP, has determined its opinion relating to the effectiveness of American Software’s internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2023 included in the 2023 Annual Report should not be relied upon. KPMG has not withdrawn its audit report on the consolidated financial statements included in the 2023 Annual Report.

American Software has initiated a process to promptly update its reconciliation control policy and procedures for investigating and resolving reconciling items on a timely basis to further prevent misstatements in its financial statements or disclosures, as well as provide training under the new policy. American Software expects the material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting will be fully remediated before April 30, 2024, but remediation will not be considered complete until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time, subsequent to implementing the updated policy and training to enable management to test and to conclude on the operating effectiveness of the controls.
