Financial Audit: Consumer   Financial Protection Bureau's FY 2023 and  FY 2022 Financial
Statements

This report transmits the GAO auditor's report on the results of our audits of the fiscal years
2023 and 2022  financial statements of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB),1
which is incorporated in the enclosed Financial Report of the Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau for Fiscal Year 2023.

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

      CFPB's  financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2023
       and 2022, 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, 2023; and

      no reportable noncompliance for fiscal year 2023 with provisions of applicable laws,
       regulations, contracts, and grant agreements we tested.

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

Bureau, the Chair of the Federal Reserve, the Inspector General of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System and the Consumer  Financial Protection Bureau, the Director of the
Office of Management and  Budget, interested congressional committees and members, and
