Review of the Disabled American Veterans National Headquarters' Financial Statements for the Year Ended December 31, 1981

The Comptroller General is required by law to audit the Disabled American Veterans (DAV), a federally chartered, privately funded, nonprofit corporation established by Congress to advance the interests of injured and disabled American veterans. However, a certified public accounting firm audited the DAV financial statements for 1981 and, to avoid duplication and unnecessary expense, GAO reviewed the firm's workpapers and audit report to determine the quality of its work.
