Investors should note that this specific 8-K filing itself does not contain new financial statements or pro forma information, but rather points to the previously filed 10-Q and its accompanying certifications as the main informational event. The key takeaway for investors is the company's compliance with new post-Sarbanes-Oxley reporting requirements. The inclusion of the CEO and CFO certifications underscores the company's commitment to the enhanced financial reporting and accountability measures mandated by the Act.

Frequently Asked Questions

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to disclose that Certegy Inc. has filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2002. It specifically highlights the inclusion of CEO and CFO certifications required by Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 with that filing.

These are certifications required by Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which mandates that the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of a public company personally certify the accuracy and completeness of their company's financial reports. In this case, the certifications from Certegy's CEO, Lee A. Kennedy, and CFO, Michael T. Vollkommer, accompany their Form 10-Q for the period ending June 30, 2002.

No, this 8-K filing itself does not contain new financial statements or pro forma financial information. Its function is to announce the filing of the Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2002, and to provide Exhibit 99.1, which is the certification document. Investors should refer to the filed Form 10-Q for the detailed financial results and analysis of the quarter.

When information is furnished under Item 9 of Form 8-K, it means it is being provided to the SEC but is not considered 'filed' for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This limits the company's liability under that specific section. Such information can only be incorporated into other SEC filings if those filings specifically reference this 8-K.
