Summary of Audit
An independent external auditor, working on behalf of and under the direction of the Office of Inspector General, audited the U.S. Agency for Global Media’s annual financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2025. The external auditor found that because of the significance of the matters described in the “Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion” section of the report, it could not obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on the financial statements. The independent external auditor reported a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to insufficient audit evidence. In addition, the independent external auditor identified a reportable instance of noncompliance with laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements related to establishing and maintaining effective internal controls.
