Matters Identified at the Savannah River Operations Office During the Audit of the Department of Energy's Consolidated Fiscal Year 1998 Financial Statements

The Government Management Reform Act of 1994 requires that audited financial statements covering all accounts and associated activities of the Department be submitted annually to the Office of Management and Budget. A Departmentwide audit of the consolidated Fiscal Year (FY) 1998 financial statements was conducted by examining internal controls, assessing compliance with laws and regulations, evaluating accounting transaction cycles, and testing selected account balances at various Department facilities.
