Under a contract monitored by our office, Williams, Adley & Company-DC, LLP (Williams Adley), a certified independent public accounting firm, audited the financial statements of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) as of September 30, 2018 and 2017, and for the years then ended, provided a report on internal control over financial reporting, and on compliance with laws, regulations, and contracts tested. The contract required that the audit be performed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted government auditing standards, Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 19-01, Audit Requirements for Federal Financial Statements, and the Government Accountability Office/Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency, Financial Audit Manual. In its audit of OCC, Williams Adley found • the financial statements were fairly presented, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; • no deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that are considered material weaknesses; and • no instances of reportable noncompliance with laws, regulations, and contracts tested. In connection with the contract, we reviewed Williams Adley’s reports and related documentation and inquired of its representatives. Our review, as differentiated from an audit performed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted government auditing standards, was not intended to enable us to express, and we do not express, an opinion on OCC’s financial statements or conclusions about the effectiveness of internal control or compliance with laws and regulations. Page 2 Williams Adley is responsible for the attached auditors’ reports dated October 31, 2018, and the conclusions expressed in the reports. However, our review disclosed no instances where Williams Adley did not comply, in all material respects, with U.S. generally accepted government auditing standards.
