Why We Did This Review
We performed this audit
in accordance with the
Accountability of Tax Dollars
Act of 2002, which requires the
U.S. Chemical Safety and
Hazard Investigation Board
(CSB) to prepare, and the
Office of Inspector General
(OIG) to audit, the board's
financial statements each year.
The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency's OIG,
which also serves as
Inspector General for the CSB,
contracted with Allmond &
Company, LLC, to perform the
audit of the CSB's fiscal years
2018 and 2017 financial
statements.
This report addresses the
following CSB goal:
• Create and maintain an
engaged, high-performing
workforce.
Audit of the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard
Investigation Board's Fiscal Years 2018 and 2017
Financial Statements
What Allmond & Company Found
Allmond & Company rendered an unmodified opinion on
the CSB's financial statements for fiscal years 2018 and
2017, meaning that the statements were fairly presented
and free of material misstatements.
The CSB received
an unmodified
opinion on its
fiscal years 2018
and 2017 financial
statements.
In planning and performing its audit, Allmond & Company
considered the CSB's internal control over financial
reporting. Allmond & Company noted no matters involving the internal control and
the CSB operation that it considered to be a material weakness or a significant
deficiency.
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the CSB's financial
statements are free of material misstatement, Allmond & Company performed
tests of the CSB's compliance with certain provisions of applicable laws,
regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, which noncompliance with could
have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement
amounts. Allmond & Company's fiscal years 2018 and 2017 audit disclosed no
instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported.
Allmond & Company is responsible for the enclosed auditor's report and the
conclusions expressed in the report. We do not express any opinion or
conclusions on the CSB's financial statements, internal control, or compliance
with laws and regulations.
Allmond & Company made no recommendations to the CSB.
