Financial Audit: Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection's Fiscal Years 2013 and 2012
Financial Statements

This report transmits the GAO auditor's report on the results of our audits of the fiscal years
2013 and 2012 financial statements of the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, known as
the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which is incorporated in the enclosed
Financial Report of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for Fiscal Year 2013. These
financial statements are the responsibility of CFPB.

As discussed more fully in the auditor's report that begins on page 44 of the enclosed financial
report, we found

   *   the CFPB financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended September 30,
       2013, and 2012, are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S.
       generally accepted accounting principles;

   *    CFPB maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
        reporting as of September 30, 2013, although internal control deficiencies regarding
        year-end accounts payable accruals and accounting for property and equipment exist
        that merit attention by those charged with governance; and

   *    no reportable noncompliance for fiscal year 2013 with provisions of applicable laws,
        regulations, contracts, and grant agreements we tested.
