Exhibit 31.2
CERTIFICATION OF THE PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL OFFICER
1. I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-K of Forrester Research, Inc.;
2. Based on my knowledge, this annual report does not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of
the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period
covered by this annual report;
3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included
in this annual report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows of
the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this annual
report;
4.
The registrant’s other certifying officers and I are responsible for establishing and
maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for
the registrant and have:
| |
a) |
|
Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure
controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material
information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is
made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in
which this annual report is being prepared; |
| |
| |
b) |
|
Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such
internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles; |
| |
| |
c) |
|
Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and
procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the
disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this annual
report based on such evaluation; and |
| |
| |
d) |
|
Disclosed in this annual report any change in the registrant’s internal control
over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant’s most recent fiscal
quarter (the registrant’s fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that
has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s
internal control over financial reporting; and |
5.
The registrant’s other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on our most recent
evaluation, to
the registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of registrant’s board of directors
(or persons performing the equivalent function):
a) All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of
internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect
the registrant’s ability to record process, summarize and report financial information; and
b) Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have
a significant role in
the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
