Financial Audit: Bureau of Consumer  Financial Protection's FY 2020 and FY 2019
Financial Statements

This report transmits the GAO auditor's report on the results of our audits of the fiscal years
2020 and 2019 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 2020.

As discussed more fully in the auditor's report that begins of page 55 of the enclosed agency
financial report, we found

      the Bureau's financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended September 30,
       2020 and 2019, 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, 2020; and

      no reportable noncompliance for fiscal year 2020 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 prepare financial statements
annually and require 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 https://www gao.gov.
