Subject: Federally Chartered Corporation: Review of the Financial Statement Audit
Reports for the Gold Star Wives of America for Fiscal Years 1997-2000
Dear Mr. Chairman:
As requested, we reviewed the audit reports covering the financial statements of the
Gold Star Wives of America, a federally chartered corporation, for the fiscal years
ended May 31, 2000, 1999, 1998, and 1997. The corporation's purpose is to operate in
the public interest for patriotic, charitable, literary, educational, scientific or civic
improvement purposes to honor the memory of those who have served the United
States.
Federally chartered corporations are required under 36 U.S.C. 10101 to
* present the corporation's assets and liabilities and reasonable detail on the
corporation's income and expenses in annual financial statements,
* obtain an annual financial audit by an independent public accountant, and
* submit the auditors' report and the corporation's financial statements to the
Congress.
The objective of our review was to determine whether the audit reports complied
with the financial reporting requirements of the law. In carrying out our work, we
reviewed the corporation's financial statements and the accompanying notes,
performed certain analytical procedures related to information presented in the
financial statements, reviewed the auditors' reports, and made inquiries to
corporation officials or the auditors as we deemed necessary. We did not review the
auditors' working papers. Our review disclosed no reportable instances of
noncompliance.GAO-01-398R Gold Star Wives of America
