Financial Audit

Federal Financing Bank's Financial Statements for Fiscal Years 1985 and 1984 Gao ID: AFMD-87-31 September 30, 1987

GAO examined the Federal Financing Bank's (FFB) financial statements as of September 30, 1985 and 1984, its system of internal accounting controls, the related statements of income and changes in retained earnings, and the changes in its financial position for the years then ended.

GAO found that the Bank: (1) had significant weaknesses in its internal accounting control system; (2) did not have adequate safeguards for its assets, properly recorded transactions, or reliable financial reporting; and (3) did not have the formal accounting policies and procedures manuals to maintain correct records for its business activities. GAO also found that the financial statements presented fairly the bank's financial position as of September 30, 1985 and 1984, and the results of its operations and the changes in its financial position for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.
