Excerpt
Excerpt: U.S. General Accounting Office, Fiscal Year 2002 U.S. Government Financial Statements: Sustained Leadership and Oversight Needed for Effective Implementation of Financial Management Reform, GAO-03-572T (Washington, D.C.: Apr. 8, 2003). 2 Pub. L. No. 101-576, 104 Stat. 2838 (1990). The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), one of the 24 CFO Act agencies, was transferred to the new Department of Homeland Security (DHS) effective March 1, 2003. With this transfer, FEMA will no longer be required to prepare and have audited stand-alone financial statements under the CFO Act. DHS, along with most other executive branch agencies, will be required to prepare and have audited financial statements under the Accountability of Tax Dollars Act of 2002, Pub. L. No. 107-289, 116 Stat. 2049 (Nov. 7, 2002). We did not include DHS in our review because of its unique status as a new agency as of March 1, 2003. We included FEMA in our review since FEMA was a CFO Act agency as of September 30, 2002, and because information on FEMA?s core financial system will be useful as it is incorporated into DHS. 3 U.S. General Accounting Office, Responses to Posthearing Questions Related to GAO?s Testimony on the U.S. Government?s Consolidated Financial Statements for Fiscal Year 2002, GAO-03-848R (Washington, D.C.: June 16, 2003).
