In this report, we provide additional details to supplement our Report on the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Fiscal Years 2009 and 2008 Financial Statements, which is included in HUD's Fiscal Year 2009 Performance and Accountability Report.
In OIG's opinion, based on our audit and the reports of other auditors, the financial statements were presented fairly, in all material respects, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The report identifies (a) eleven significant weaknesses, and (b) four instances of noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations. The report discusses each of these conditions in detail, provides an assessment of actions taken by HUD to mitigate the deficiencies noted, and makes recommendations for corrective actions. During the course of the audit, OIG also identified several matters that are not material to the financial statements and are being reported separately to HUD management.
