Dear Ms. Cvrkel and Ms. Li:
This firm represents Medpace Holdings, Inc. (“Medpace”). We have received and reviewed your letter dated July 26, 2019 related to the above-referenced filings. In accordance with your request, on behalf of Medpace, we have responded to the comment included in your letter.
Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2018
Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2, page 1
1. | It appears that your officer certifications filed under Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 do not include the language referring to internal control over financial reporting that should appear in the introductory sentence of paragraph 4 of the Section 302 certifications. Please note this additional language became effective for your first annual report required to contain management’s report on internal control over financial reporting and in all periodic reports filed thereafter. Please revise your filings to include the correct certifications. We refer you to the guidance under Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations (C&DI) for Regulation S-K, Question 246.13. This comment is also applicable to your Form 10-Q for fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2019. |
Response: As requested, beginning with its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and in future periodic reports, Medpace will include the required language referring to internal control over financial reporting in the introductory sentence of paragraph 4 of the Section 302 certifications.
