Results of GAO's Assistance on Audit of U.S. Government Printing Office's Fiscal Year 1997 Financial Statements

GAO assisted the Government Printing Office (GPO) in satisfying its statutory requirement for the audit of GPO's fiscal year 1997 financial statements by: (1) participating in contracting with an independent public accounting firm, KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, to perform the audit; (2) monitoring the audit's progress; and (3) reviewing KPMG's working papers and reports for compliance with generally accepted government auditing standards (GAGAS), GAO's Financial Audit Manual (FAM), and GAO's Federal Information System Controls Audit Manual (FISCAM).
