Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls
Teledyne’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that it files or submits, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, with the participation and assistance of other members of management, have evaluated the effectiveness, as of December 29, 2019, of the company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures as of December 29, 2019, are effective.
Internal Controls
See Management Statement on page 56 for management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting. See Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on page 57 for Deloitte & Touche LLP’s attestation report on the Report of Management on Teledyne Technologies Incorporated’s Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
There was no change in the company’s “internal control over financial reporting” (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended December 29, 2019, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the company’s internal control over financial reporting. There also were no material weaknesses identified for which corrective action needed to be taken.
