APPENDIX B: <strong>2002</strong> AUDIT REPORT<br />

Independent Auditors' <strong>Report</strong> on Financial Statements<br />

To the Federal Financial Institutions<br />

Examination Council<br />

We have audited the accompanying<br />

balance sheets of the Federal Financial<br />

Institutions Examination Council<br />

(the Council) as of December 31,<br />

<strong>2002</strong> and 2001 and the related statements<br />

of revenues and expenses and<br />

changes in cumulative results of<br />

operations and cash flows for the<br />

years then ended. These financial<br />

statements are the responsibility of<br />

the Council’s management. Our<br />

responsibility is to express an opinion<br />

on these financial statements<br />

based on our audits.<br />

We conducted our audits in accordance<br />

with auditing standards generally<br />

accepted in the United States<br />

of America and Government Auditing<br />

Standards, issued by the Comptroller<br />

General of the United States. Those<br />

standards require that we plan and<br />

perform the audits to obtain reason-<br />

able assurance about whether the<br />

financial statements are free of<br />

material misstatement. An audit<br />

includes examining, on a test basis,<br />

evidence supporting the amounts<br />

and disclosures in the financial<br />

statements. An audit also includes<br />

assessing the accounting principles<br />

used and significant estimates made<br />

by management, as well as evaluating<br />

the overall financial statement<br />

presentation. We believe that our<br />

audits provide a reasonable basis for<br />

our opinion.<br />

In our opinion, the financial statements<br />

referred to above present<br />

fairly, in all material respects, the<br />

financial position of the Council at<br />

December 31, <strong>2002</strong> and 2001, and<br />

the results of its operations and its<br />

cash flows for the years then ended<br />

in conformity with accounting prin-<br />

ciples generally accepted in the<br />

United States of America.<br />

In accordance with Government<br />

Auditing Standards, we have also<br />

issued our reports dated March 5,<br />

2003 on our consideration of<br />

the Council’s internal control over<br />

financial reporting and its compliance<br />

with laws and regulations.<br />

Those reports are an integral part<br />

of an audit conducted in accordance<br />

with Government Auditing Standards,<br />

and should be read in conjunction<br />

with this report in considering the<br />

results of our audit.<br />
