Financial Audit: Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection's FY 2019 and FY 2018
Financial Statements

This report transmits the GAO auditor's report on the results of our audits of the fiscal years
2019 and 2018 financial statement of the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau or
BCFP) which is incorporated in the enclosed Financial Report of the Bureau of Consumer
Financial Protection for Fiscal Year 2019.

As discussed more fully in the auditor's report that begins on page 47 of the enclosed agency
financial report, we found

* the Bureau's financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2019
   and 2018, are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. generally
   accepted accounting principles;
* the Bureau maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
    reporting as of September 30, 2019; and
* no reportable noncompliance for fiscal year 2019 with provisions of applicable laws,
    regulations, contracts, and grant agreements we tested.

Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act1 and the Full-Year
Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011,2 both require the Bureau to annually prepare financial
statements and GAO to audit the agency's financial statements. This report responds to these
requirements.




We are sending copies of this report to the Director of the Bureau of Consumer Financial
Protection, the Chair of the Federal Reserve, the Inspector General of the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System and the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, the Director
of the Office of Management and Budget, interested congressional committees and members,
and other interested parties. In addition, the report is available at no charge at the GAO website
at http://www.gao.gov.
