A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a registrant’s financial statement will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Prior to the acquisition by Gen, MoneyLion reported an identified material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting. As a result, MoneyLion concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in providing reasonable assurance that infor…

Accordingly, this deficiency was determined to constitute a material weakness. MoneyLion has undertaken steps to remediate the material weakne…

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
