Independent Auditors' Report
Chairman and CEO, U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board
Inspector General, Environmental Protection Agency:
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard
Investigation Board (CSB), which comprise the balance sheets as of September 30, 2021 and 2020; the
related statements of net cost, changes in net position, and budgetary resources for the fiscal years then
ended; and the related notes to the financial statements (hereinafter referred to as the financial
statements).
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this
responsibility includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the
preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the fiscal year 2021 and 2020 financial statements of CSB
based on our audits. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) Bulletin No. 21-04, Audit Requirements for Federal Financial Statements. Those standards and
OMB Bulletin No. 21-04 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors" judgment, including the assessment
of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal
control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness
of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
-------
Independent Auditors' Report
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board as of September 30, 2021
and 2020, and its net costs, changes in net position, and budgetary resources for the fiscal years then
ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that the information in the Message from the
Chairman and Management and Discussion Analysis sections of this report is presented to supplement the
basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is
required by the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board. We have applied certain limited procedures,
which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information
and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic
financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of CSB's financial statements.
However, we did not audit this information and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of CSB's financial statements as of and for the year ended September
30, 2021, in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards, we considered CSB's
internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of CSB's internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of CSB's internal control over financial
reporting. We limited internal control testing to those necessary to achieve the objectives described in OMB
Bulletin No. 21-04. We did not test all internal control relevant to operating objectives as broadly defined
by the Federal Managers' Financial Integrity Act of 1982.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct misstatement on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of
deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's
financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant
deficiency is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a
material weakness yet important enough to merit the attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose as described in
the first paragraph of this section, and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over
financial reporting that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. Given these limitations, during
our fiscal year 2021 audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting
that we considered to be a material weakness, as defined above. However, material weaknesses may exist
that have not been identified.
-------
Independent Auditors' Report
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether CSB's fiscal year 2021 financial statements are
free of material misstatements, we performed tests of CSB's compliance with certain provisions of
applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, which noncompliance could have a direct and
material effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in CSB's financial statements, and
certain provisions of other laws specified in OMB Bulletin No. 21-04. However, providing an opinion on
compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express
such an opinion.
The results of our tests of compliance as described in the preceding paragraph, disclosed no instances of
noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported herein under Government Auditing
Standards or OMB Bulletin No. 21-04.
CSB's Response to Auditors' Report
The CSB's response to the auditors' report is included immediately following this report. The CSB's
responses were not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and,
accordingly, we express no opinion on them.
Purpose of the Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
The purpose of the communication described in the Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing
Standards section is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance with
selected provision of applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, and the results of that
testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of CSB's internal control or on compliance. This
communication is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
government auditing standards in considering internal controls and compliance with laws, regulations,
contracts, and grant agreements which could have a material effect on CSB's financial statements.
Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Subject: Management Response to the Office of Inspector General (OIG) Fiscal Year 2021's
Draft Audit Report
Date: November 12, 2021
The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB or "Agency") has performed significant
work to ensure the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We are pleased to receive the independent auditor's report with an Unmodified Opinion, the highest level
of assurance that the CSB's financial statements are presented, in all material respects, in accordance with
applicable financial reporting requirements.
The Federal Manager's Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA) requires the CSB to annually evaluate its
management controls and identify any material weaknesses. This requirement covers all the CSB's
programs and administrative functions. As the CSB works to serve the American people, we must
administer our programs as efficiently, economically, and responsibly. The CSB relies on a system of
management controls to provide reasonable assurance that our financial activities comply with all
applicable laws, and safeguards resources, as well as properly accounts for expenditures. This
tremendous effort has resulted in CSB's notable fiscal year 2021 financial statements are free of material
statements, as testified in the independent auditor's report.
Based on both internal and external evaluations, and knowledge gained from daily operations, I can
certify with reasonable assurance that the CSB is in compliance with the provisions of the FMFIA.
We appreciate the opportunity to respond to the OIG draft report. Please contact Chuong Dai Nguyen in
the Office of Financial Operations at (202) 302-9090 with any questions.

CHEMICAL SAFETY AND HAZARD INVESTIGATION BOARD
NOTES TO THE FIN ANCI AL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1, SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting Entity
The United States Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) is an independent
Federal agency with the mission of ensuring the safety of workers and the public by promoting
chemical safety and accident prevention. The CSB was established by the Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990 and is responsible for advising the President and Congress on key issues
related to chemical safety and evaluating the effectiveness of other Government agencies on safety
requirements. The CSB receives all of its funding through appropriations. The CSB reporting entity
is comprised of General Funds and General Miscellaneous Receipts.
General Funds are accounts used to record financial transactions arising under congressional
appropriations or other authorizations to spend general revenues. The CSB manages Operations
and Facilities, Engineering and Development General Fund accounts.
General Fund Miscellaneous Receipts are accounts established for receipts of non-recurring
activity, such as fines, penalties, fees and other miscellaneous receipts for services and benefits.
The CSB has rights and ownership of all assets reported in these financial statements. The CSB
does not possess any non-entity assets.
B. Basis of Presentation
The financial statements have been prepared to report the financial position and results of
operations of the CSB. The Balance Sheet presents the financial position of the agency. The
Statement of Net Cost presents the agency's operating results; the Statement of Changes in Net
Position displays the changes in the agency's equity accounts. The Statement of Budgetary
Resources presents the sources, status, and uses of the agency's resources and follows the ailes for
the Budget of the United States Government.
The statements are a requirement of the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990, the Government
Management Reform Act of 1994 and the Accountability of Tax Dollars Act of 2002. They have
been prepared from, and are fully supported by, the books and records of the CSB in accordance
with the hierarchy of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
standards issued by the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board (FASAB), Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-136, Financial Reporting Requirements, as amended,
and the CSB accounting policies which are summarized in this note. These statements, with the
exception of the Statement of Budgetary Resources, are different from financial management
reports, which are also prepared pursuant to OMB directives that are used to monitor and control
CSB's use of budgetary resources. The financial statements and associated notes are presented on
a comparative basis. Unless specified otherwise, all amounts are presented in dollars.
5
-------
C. Basis of Accounting
Transactions are recorded on both an accrual accounting basis and a budgetary basis. Under the
accrual method, revenues are recognized when earned, and expenses are recognized when a liability
is incurred, without regard to receipt or payment of cash. Budgetary accounting facilitates
compliance with legal requirements on the use of federal funds.
D. Fund Balance with Treasury
FBWT is an asset of a reporting entity and a liability of the General Fund. It is the aggregate amount
of the CSB's funds with Treasury in expenditure, receipt, and deposit fund accounts. Appropriated
funds recorded in expenditure accounts are available to pay current liabilities and finance
authorized purchases.
The CSB does not maintain bank accounts of its own, has no disbursing authority, and does not
maintain cash held outside of Treasury. Funds are disbursed for the agency on demand. Foreign
currency payments are made either by Treasury or the Department of State and are reported by
the CSB in the U.S. dollar equivalents.
E. Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists of amounts owed to the CSB by other federal agencies and the general
public. Amounts due from federal agencies are considered fully collectible. Accounts receivable
from the public include reimbursements from employees. An allowance for uncollectible accounts
receivable from the public is established when, based upon a review of outstanding accounts and
the failure of all collection efforts, management determines that collection is unlikely to occur
considering the debtor's ability to pay.
F. Property, Equipment, and Software
Property, equipment and software represent furniture, fixtures, equipment, and information
technology hardware and software which are recorded at original acquisition cost and are
depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Major
alterations and renovations are capitalized, while maintenance and repair costs are expensed as
incurred. The CSB's capitalization threshold is $10,000 for individual purchases and $50,000 for
bulk purchases. Property, equipment, and software acquisitions that do not meet the capitalization
criteria are expensed upon receipt. Applicable standard governmental guidelines regulate the
disposal and convertibility of agency property, equipment, and software. The useful life
classifications for capitalized assets are as follows:
Description
Leasehold Improvements
Office Furniture
Office Equipment
Computer Equipment
Software
Useful Life (years)
Lease Term
7
5
3

6
-------
G. Advances and Prepaid Charges
Advance payments are generally prohibited by law. There are some exceptions, such as
reimbursable agreements, subscriptions and payments to contractors and employees. Payments
made in advance of the receipt of goods and services are recorded as advances or prepaid charges
at the time of prepayment and recognized as expenses when the related goods and services are
received.
H. Liabilities
Liabilities represent the amount of funds likely to be paid by the CSB as a result of transactions or
events that have already occurred.
The CSB reports its liabilities under two categories, Intragovernmental and With the Public.
Intragovernmental liabilities represent funds owed to another government agency. Liabilities with
the Public represent funds owed to any entity or person that is not a federal agency, including
private sector firms and federal employees. Each of these categories may include liabilities that
are covered by budgetary resources and liabilities not covered by budgetary resources.
Liabilities covered by budgetary resources are liabilities funded by a current appropriation or other
funding source. These consist of accounts payable and accrued payroll and benefits. Accounts
payable represent amounts owed to another entity for goods ordered and received and for services
rendered except for employees. Accrued payroll and benefits represent payroll costs earned by
employees during the fiscal year which are not paid until the next fiscal year.
Liabilities not covered by budgetary resources are liabilities that are not funded by any current
appropriation or other funding source. These liabilities consist of accrued annual leave, deferred
rent, actuarial FECA, and the amounts due to Treasury for collection and accounts receivable of
civil penalties and FOIA request fees.
I. Annual, Sick, and Other Leave
Annual leave is accrued as it is earned, and the accrual is reduced as leave is taken. The balance in
the accrued leave account is adjusted to reflect current pay rates. Liabilities associated with other
types of vested leave, including compensatory, restored leave, and sick leave in certain
circumstances, are accrued at year-end, based on latest pay rates and unused hours of leave.
Funding will be obtained from future financing sources to the extent that current or prior year
appropriations are not available to fund annual and other types of vested leave earned but not taken.
Nonvested leave is expensed when used. Any liability for sick leave that is accrued but not taken
by a Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS)-covered employee is transferred to the Office of
Personnel Management (OPM) upon the retirement of that individual. Credit is given for sick leave
balances in the computation of annuities upon the retirement of Federal Employees Retirement
System (FERS)-covered employees.
J. Accrued and Actuarial Workers' Compensation
The Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) administered by the U.S. Department of Labor
(DOL) addresses all claims brought by the CSB employees for on-the-job injuries. The DOL bills
each agency annually as its claims are paid, but payment of these bills is deferred for two years to
allow for funding through the budget process. Similarly, employees that the CSB terminates
7
-------
without cause may receive unemployment compensation benefits under the unemployment
insurance program also administered by the DOL, which bills each agency quarterly for paid
claims. Future appropriations will be used for the reimbursement to DOL. The liability consists of
the unreimbursed cost paid by DOL for compensation to recipients under the FECA.
K. Retirement Plans
The CSB employees participate in either the CSRS or the FERS. The employees who participate
in CSRS are beneficiaries of CSB's matching contribution, equal to seven percent of pay,
distributed to their annuity account in the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund.
Prior to December 31, 1983, all employees were covered under the CSRS program. From January
1, 1984 through December 31, 1986, employees had the option of remaining under CSRS or joining
FERS and Social Security. Employees hired as of January 1, 1987 are automatically covered by
the FERS program. Both CSRS and FERS employees may participate in the federal Thrift Savings
Plan (TSP). FERS employees receive an automatic agency contribution equal to one percent of
pay and the CSB matches any employee contribution up to an additional four percent of pay. For
FERS participants, the CSB also contributes the employer's matching share of Social Security.
FERS employees and certain CSRS reinstatement employees are eligible to participate in the Social
Security program after retirement. In these instances, the CSB remits the employer's share of the
required contribution.
The CSB recognizes the imputed cost of pension and other retirement benefits during the
employees' active years of service. OPM actuaries determine pension cost factors by calculating
the value of pension benefits expected to be paid in the future and communicate these factors to the
CSB for current period expense reporting. OPM also provides information regarding the full cost
of health and life insurance benefits. The CSB recognized the offsetting revenue as imputed
financing sources to the extent these expenses will be paid by OPM.
The CSB does not report on its financial statements information pertaining to the retirement plans
covering its employees. Reporting amounts such as plan assets, accumulated plan benefits, and
related unfunded liabilities, if any, is the responsibility of the OPM, as the administrator.
L. Other Post-Employment Benefits
The CSB employees eligible to participate in the Federal Employees' Health Benefits Plan
(FEHBP) and the Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance Program (FEGLIP) may continue to
participate in these programs after their retirement. The OPM has provided the CSB with certain
cost factors that estimate the true cost of providing the post-retirement benefit to current employees.
The CSB recognizes a current cost for these and Other Retirement Benefits (ORB) at the time the
employee's services are rendered. The ORB expense is financed by OPM, and offset by the CSB
through the recognition of an imputed financing source.
M. Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

owner. The new agreement began on July 15, 2019 and is scheduled to terminate on July 14, 2024.
The CSB has the option to extend the lease for one (1) additional term, from July 15, 2024, through
September 30, 2025. The novation lease includes caps for annual adjustments to real estate taxes,
operating expenses, and a 24-hour HVAC requirement. Finally, the amendment changed agreed

The lease agreement for office space in Denver, CO is accounted for as an operating lease.
However, the Denver Federal Center was closed on December 31, 2020. Therefore, per the
agreement with GSA, the CSB is responsible for covering the full rent for the Denver Federal
Center for the first three (3) months of Fiscal Year 2021, totaling the amount of $24, 645.
NOTE 8. INTER-ENTITY COSTS
The CSB recognizes certain inter-entity costs for goods and services that are received from other
federal entities at no cost or at a cost less than the full cost. Certain costs of the providing entity
that are not fully reimbursed are recognized as imputed cost and are offset by imputed revenue.
Such imputed costs and revenues relate to employee benefits and claims to be settled by the
Treasury Judgement Fund. The CSB recognizes as inter-entity costs the amount of accrued pension
and post-retirement benefit expenses for current employees. The assets and liabilities associated
with such benefits are the responsibility of the administering agency, OPM. For the periods ended
September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, inter-entity costs were as follows:
