Summary
This amended 10-Q filing for Charter Communications, Inc. (CHTR) for the quarter ended September 30, 2002, primarily addresses an amendment to Item 4, "Controls and Procedures." The amendment confirms that management, including the CEO, then CFO, and then Chief Administrative Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the company's disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the original filing date of November 19, 2002. They concluded that these controls were effective in providing reasonable assurance that required financial information is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the specified timeframes. While this filing does not present new financial performance data, it reassures investors about the company's commitment to maintaining robust internal controls. The report explicitly states that there were no significant changes in internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the evaluation date. Management's evaluation also acknowledges the inherent limitations of any control system, emphasizing that they provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance.
