Summary of Review
An independent external auditor, working on behalf of and under the direction of the Office of Inspector General, audited the U.S. Department of State’s (Department) closing package financial statements as of, and for the year ended, September 30, 2018. The auditor found the closing package financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Department as of September 30, 2018, and its net costs and changes in net position for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The auditor identified no material weaknesses in internal control over the financial reporting process for the closing package financial statements, and its tests of compliance with U.S. Department of the Treasury requirements disclosed no instances of noncompliance that were required to be reported.
