         Subject: Financial Management: Audit of the Centennial of Flight Commission for FY
                2001

         The Centennial of Flight Commission (Commission) was created on November 13,
         1998, by the Centennial of Flight Commemoration Act (Public Law 105-389, as
         amended by Public Law 106-68). The purpose of the Commission is to commemorate
         the 100th anniversary of the Wright brothers' flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina that
         occurred on December 17, 1903. The Commission is to provide recommendations
         and advice to the President, the Congress, and federal agencies on the most effective
         ways to encourage and promote national and international participation and
         sponsorships in commemoration of the centennial of powered flight. We are required
         by the act to audit the financial transactions of the Commission. This report presents
         the results of our audit of the Commission's fiscal year 2001 financial transactions,
         with cumulative information since the Commission's inception. We previously
         reported the results of our audit on Commission financial transactions for fiscal years
         1999 and 2000.'

         Results in Brief

         We found that all 156 of the Commission's recorded obligations and expenditures
         during fiscal year 2001 were supported by documentation that was approved by
         management. The Commission recorded no donations, user fees, or in-kind
         donations for fiscal year 2001.
