When the SEC's staff reviews a filing, it writes to the company with numbered questions, and the company answers each one in a letter. SEC publishes the exchange once the review is over, at least 20 business days later. Below: what the staff asked WM, and the company's answer to each question, quoted from the letters. A question is not an accusation; most reviews end with the company adding detail to its next filing.

WM answered
Amended Item 9A Controls and Procedures. Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, page 127

The Company will include the following statement in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting within a Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2021:

“Management of the Company assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 based on the 2013 framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria).
Rest of the answer

Based on this assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021.”

The Company intends to file the amendment to the Form 10-K on March 29, 2022.

From the SEC's correspondence on EDGAR: staff letters (form UPLOAD) and company letters (form CORRESP), 9 letters filed since 2018-07-09. Questions and answers are matched by their numbers; topics come from words in each question. The reports are compared word for word (same form, before the first SEC letter against the first report after the company's reply). No AI.
