NASA Gets Another Clean Financial Audit Opinion

NASA Announces Ninth Consecutive Clean Financial Audit Opinion
“The NASA Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) has led the way for an unmodified audit opinion on the agency’s fiscal year 2019 (FY 2019) financial statements. This represents NASA’s ninth consecutive “clean” opinion from an independent accounting firm – the highest opinion possible. “This audit opinion is an affirmation of NASA’s commitment to its fiduciary responsibility for maintaining the public trust regarding the agency’s valuable financial resources,” said NASA CFO Jeff DeWit. “Our highly trained financial professionals will continue the quest for accountability, efficiency, and excellence as NASA pushes each day to further America’s leadership in space.”

    I’m not sure what this means. Does it include contract awards (i.e. Boeing) or does it just check that no one is cooking the books?

      It means they were able to perform a complete audit: that is, they know where all the money went, and it went into things appropriate for the line items in the appropriation.

      Ah, for the golden years of the previous decade, when the agency had one “disclaimed” audit after another, due to missing data chains for where money went.
