Financial Audit: Office of Financial Stability's (Troubled Asset Relief Program) FY 2021
and FY 2020 Financial Statements
This report transmits the GAO auditor's report on the results of our audits of the fiscal years
2021 and 2020 financial statements of the Office of Financial Stability (Troubled Asset Relief
Program), which is incorporated in the enclosed Office of Financial Stability (Troubled Asset
Relief Program) Agency Financial Report for Fiscal Year 2021.
As discussed more fully in the auditor's report that begins on page 19 of the enclosed agency
financial report, we found
 the Office of Financial Stability's (OFS) financial statements for the Troubled Asset Relief
Program (TARP) as of and for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, are
presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles;
 OFS maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting for
TARP as of September 30, 2021; and
 no reportable noncompliance for fiscal year 2021 with provisions of applicable laws,
regulations, contracts, and grant agreements we tested.
The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA)1 that authorized TARP on October
3, 2008, includes a provision for TARP, which is implemented by OFS,2 to annually prepare and
submit to Congress and the public audited fiscal year financial statements that are prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.3 EESA further states that GAO
shall audit TARP's financial statements annually.
We are sending copies of this report to the Secretary of the Treasury, the Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Community and Economic Development, the Financial Stability Oversight Board,
the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the Acting Director of the
Office of Management and Budget, interested congressional committees and members, and

TARP.
