Excerpt
Excerpt: The attached audit report presents the results of the audit of the National Institute of Standards and Technology?s (NIST) Combined Statements of Financial Position as of September 30, 1997, and 1996, and the related Combined Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Position for the years then ended. Also provided are reports on NIST?s internal controls and compliance with laws and regulations, including management?s comments. The accompanying overview and financial statements were prepared by NIST. In accordance with the Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act of 1990, as amended by the Government Management Reform Act of 1994, an audited consolidated financial statement must be prepared covering all accounts and associated activities of each office, bureau, and activity of the Department. To facilitate the consolidated audit process, the independent certified public accounting firm of Price Waterhouse LLP (PW) was contracted to audit NIST?s FY 1997 financial statements. The Office of Inspector General defined the audit scope, oversaw the process of selecting the contractor, and oversaw the performance and delivery of the audit.
