DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 40-F, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of the management of RESAAS Services Inc. (the “ Registrant ”), including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “ Exchange Act ”)). Based on that evaluation, the Registrant’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2016. In addition, there was no change in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2016 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL

OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in  Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)  issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO). Based on such evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective at a reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2016.

 

  This Annual Report on Form 40-F does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting due to a transition period established by the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

AUDIT COMMITTEE AND AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

The SEC has indicated that the designation of Mr. Morgando as an audit committee financial expert does not make him an “expert” for any purpose, impose any duties, obligations or liability on him that are greater than those imposed on members of the Registrant’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors who do not carry this designation or affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the Audit Committee.
