Revenue recognition involves allocating transaction prices to performance obligations, estimating variable consideration, and determining whether the company acts as a principal or agent in providing services - Revenue from platform services (access to payment processing platform) and other services (card fulfillment) - Transaction price allocated based on relative stand-alone selling price, estimated using historical pricing and costs - Platform services revenue recognized over time; variable consideration estimated using the expected value method - Company acts as principal for most services, recording fees to Issuing Banks and Card Networks as costs of revenue [Business Combinations](index=44&type=section&id=Business%20Combinations) Accounting for business combinations involves allocating the purchase price to acquired assets and assumed liabilities at fair value, with any excess recorded as goodwill.

Due to the short-term maturities of most of these instruments, their fair value would not be significantly affected by changes in interest rates. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates would not materially impact financial results - Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaled **$1.4 billion** as of June 30, 2023[211](index=211&type=chunk) - The fair value of these instruments would not be significantly affected by interest rate changes due to their short-term maturities[211](index=211&type=chunk) - A hypothetical **100 basis point increase or decrease** in interest rates would not have a material effect on financial results or condition[211](index=211&type=chunk) [Foreign Currency Exchange Risk](index=45&type=section&id=Foreign%20Currency%20Exchange%20Risk) Most of Marqeta's sales and operating expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars, limiting its current exposure to foreign currency risk.

Despite this, the financial statements are deemed to fairly present the company's financial position. Remediation efforts are underway [Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures](index=46&type=section&id=Evaluation%20of%20Disclosure%20Controls%20and%20Procedures) Management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2023, due to a material weakness. However, additional analyses ensured the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements fairly present the company's financial position - Disclosure controls and procedures were **not effective** at a reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2023, due to a material weakness[214](index=214&type=chunk) - Despite the material weakness, management performed additional procedures and concluded that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements **fairly present the financial position**, results of operations, and cash flows[214](index=214&type=chunk) [Material Weakness](index=46&type=section&id=Material%20Weakness) A material weakness was identified related to the accounting for the Power Finance acquisition, specifically a lack of sufficient precision in purchase price allocation reviews and timely oversight of third-party specialists.
