The Office of Inspector General (OIG) contracted with the independent certified public accounting firm of Harper, Rains, Knight and Company, P.A (HRK) to audit the financial statements of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for fiscal year 2014. The contract required that the audit be done in accordance with U.S. generally accepted government auditing standards contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States and Office of Management and Budget’s Bulletin 14-02, Audit Requirements for Federal Financial Statements, as amended.
HRK reported that EEOC’s fiscal year 2014 financial statements and notes were fairly presented, in all material respects, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In regards to Internal Control over Financial Reporting, HRK noted two areas involving internal control and its operation that are considered to be significant deficiencies. These included the lack of sufficient controls over supporting documentation for personnel expenses, and the lack of sufficient controls over financial management relating to the failure to evaluate controls at the financial systems service provider Global Computer Enterprises (GCE). HRK noted no instances of non compliance or other matters that were required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards or OMB Bulletin 14-02.
