The principal financial statements included in this report have been
prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Chief Financial Officers
Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-576), the Government Management Reform Act of 1994 and
the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Bulletin 01-09, "Form and Content
of Agency Financial Statements." The responsibility for the integrity of the
financial information included in these statements rests with management of the
U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). The audit of DOL's principal financial
statements was performed by the Office of Inspector General (OIG). The
auditors' report issued by the Assistant Inspector General accompanies the
principal statements.
The Department's principal financial statements for fiscal years (FY)
2002 and 2001 consisted of the following:
- The Consolidated Balance Sheets, which present as of September
30, 2002 and 2001 those resources owned or managed by DOL which are available
to provide future economic benefits (assets); amounts owed by DOL that will
require payments from those resources or future resources (liabilities) and
residual amounts retained by DOL, comprising the difference (net
position).
- The Consolidated Statements of Net Cost, which present the net
cost of DOL operations for the years ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. DOL's

operations, the classification of gross cost and exchange revenues by major
program and suborganization is presented in
Note 14 to the consolidated
financial statements.
