6.01 A garbled sentence on the Audit Committee's cybersecurity oversight in Item 1C
Company H · a US-listed aerospace services company · Drafting slip
In brief
Item 1C reads 'The Committee oversees, including oversight of management's implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program.' The verb has no object; the prior-year Form 10-K read 'The Committee oversees management's implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program.'
The evidence, as filed
What the filing shows, and what the rule requires
| What the filing shows | What the rule requires |
|---|---|
'The Committee oversees, including oversight of management's implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program.' | 'The Committee oversees cybersecurity risk, including management's implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program.' |
Why it matters
Cosmetic; the oversight role is still clear from the preceding sentence.
Exposure
None.
Our workings
the sentence on p.47 lacks an object for 'oversees'; the prior-year text (p.67 of that report) was complete.
an edit that inserted 'including oversight of' left the sentence incomplete. No figure or conclusion changes.
Management’s best defense, and our reply
Management would say the meaning is clear from the preceding sentence delegating oversight to the Audit Committee. That is right, which is why this is a drafting slip only.
The fix
- Read: 'The Committee oversees cybersecurity risk, including management's implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program.'
