Audits

On November 17, we issued a quality control report of the audit of the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Fiscal Years 2008 and 2007 Special–Purpose Financial Statements. KPMG LLP, under contract to us and under our supervision, issued a clean (unqualified) audit opinion. Further, KPMG did not identify any deficiencies in internal controls over financial reporting for the Special–Purpose Financial Statements that were considered to be material weaknesses, nor did tests of compliance with TFM Volume 1, Part 2, Chapter 4700 disclose any instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards or OMB Bulletin No. 07 04. A copy of KPMG’s report and the Special–Purpose Financial Statements can be obtained from Mr. George Banks, (410) 962–0186.
