Explanatory Note

Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this “Amendment” or “Form 10-Q/A”) to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2023, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 2, 2023 (the “Original Form 10-Q”) to make certain changes as described below.

 

Background

As previously disclosed in the Company’s earnings press release furnished as an exhibit to the Current Report on Form 8-K furnished with the SEC on November 1, 2023, the Company recently discovered an error in the presentation of one Canadian bank account balance within “customer funds” and “customer funds obligations” and related items on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and in the Company’s net cash provided by financing activities within its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. There was an understatement of customer funds within current assets and a corresponding understatement of customer funds obligations within current liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. As a result, the Company also erroneously presented certain changes related to customer funds and customer funds obligations on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

However, the Company determined that the incorrect presentation did not result in a material misstatement of the Company’s financial statements and, accordingly, it does not need to restate its previously issued financial statements contained in the Original Form 10-Q, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 or in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Considering the foregoing, management reassessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) as of December 31, 2022, based on the framework established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As a result of that reassessment, management identified a material weakness in its ICFR as the Company has determined that its control designed to assess the proper presentation of cash and cash equivalents for its Canada customer funds for financial reporting purposes was ineffective (“Canada Trust Material Weakness”).

With regard to the Canada Trust Material Weakness, the Company has implemented an additional control and training to ensure proper classification and presentation of cash and cash equivalents for its Canada customer funds. The Company expects the Canada Trust Material Weakness will be fully remediated before December 31, 2023, but remediation will not be considered complete until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time subsequent to the additional training to enable management to test and to conclude on the operating effectiveness of the control.

Further, while reassessing the effectiveness of the Company’s ICFR, management identified, in the aggregate, a material weakness related to controls over certain Professional Services and Powerpay revenue accounts as of December 31, 2022 (the "Risk Assessment Material Weakness"). The Company has enhanced its risk assessment process and information technology general controls to prevent misstatements in Professional Services revenue accounts. The Company also expects to implement additional controls to prevent misstatements in Powerpay revenue accounts. The Company expects the Risk Assessment Material Weakness will be fully remediated before December 31, 2023, but remediation will not be considered complete until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time to enable management to test and to conclude on the operating effectiveness of the controls.

In light of the Canada Trust Material Weakness and the Risk Assessment Material Weakness, which continue to exist as of June 30, 2023, the Company has performed additional analyses and other procedures to enable management to conclude that the existence of the material weaknesses did not result in a material misstatement of the Company’s previously issued financial statements.

As a result of the Canada Trust Material Weakness and the Risk Assessment Material Weakness, the Company concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures and ICFR were ineffective as of June 30, 2023. As a result, the Company is amending and restating Part I, Item 4 Controls and Procedures in this Form 10-Q/A to update its conclusions regarding the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023 a result of the material weaknesses.

In accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company is also including with this Form 10-Q/A certifications of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer (included in Part II, Item 6. “Exhibits” and attached as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1, and 32.2). This Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-Q, which continues to speak as of the date of the Original Form 10-Q. Except as specifically noted above, this Form 10-Q/A does not modify or update disclosures in the Original Form 10-Q. Accordingly, this Form 10-Q/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Form 10-Q or modify or update any related or other disclosures, other than those discussed above. No other portions of the Original Form 10-Q were changed.

Amendments of 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K and 2023 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q

In addition to this Form 10-Q/A, the Company is concurrently filing amendments to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023.

PART I

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below. We have in place and are executing a remediation plan to address the material weaknesses described below.

As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as we have determined that our control was not operating effectively to assess the proper presentation of cash and cash equivalents for our Canada customer funds for financial reporting purposes, including the corresponding customer funds and customer funds obligations and related statements of cash flows presentation as of December 31, 2022, which continues to exist as of June 30, 2023. This material weakness was the result of the control operator not appropriately detecting and correcting the error, as a result of insufficient training.

Further, while reassessing the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, management identified, in the aggregate, a material weakness related to controls over certain Professional Services and Powerpay revenue accounts as of December 31, 2022, which continues to exist as of June 30, 2023, resulting from an ineffective risk assessment process to properly design and implement controls over (1) certain process level activities related to Powerpay revenue, and (2) information technology access pertaining to a system implemented in September 2022 that adversely impacted the accuracy and completeness of information that is used to measure a component of its Professional Services revenue.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

In light of the material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"). Accordingly, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Original Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Management’s Plan to Remediate the Identified Material Weaknesses

With regard to the Canada Trust Material Weakness, the Company has implemented an additional control and training to ensure proper classification and presentation of cash and cash equivalents for its Canada customer funds.

In addition, we have enhanced our revenue risk assessment process and information technology general controls to prevent misstatements in Professional Services revenue accounts. We will also implement additional controls to prevent misstatements in Powerpay revenue accounts. We anticipate that the two material weaknesses will be fully remediated before December 31, 2023, but the material weaknesses cannot be considered fully remediated until the improved controls have been in place and operate for a sufficient period of time to enable management to test and to conclude on the operating effectiveness of the controls.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

With the exception of the controls implemented in response to the material weaknesses identified above, there were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
