Dear Colleague:

The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the President's Council
on Integrity and Efficiency (PCIE) maintain the GAO/PCIE Financial Audit
Manual (FAM). The FAM provides guidance for performing financial
statement audits of federal entities. It is a key tool for enhancing accountability
over taxpayer-provided resources.

GAO and PCIE are committed to keeping the FAM current. With this goal in
mind, in October of 2003, we revised the Checklist for Reports Prepared Under
the CFO Act (CFO Checklist), and requested comments on an exposure draft of
the checklist. One of the key changes in the final checklist is its title, which has
been changed to Checklist for Federal Accounting, Reporting, and
Disclosures. This change was made to reflect the checklist's potential
application to any federal entity preparing annual audited financial statements
in accordance with the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) form and
content guidance.

This checklist is located in section 1050 of the GAO/PCIE FAM. It can be
accessed at either the GAO Web site (www.gaogto) or the PCIE Web site
(.ige(.jgov___ande/-uditilhtir#gtide). We extend our thanks to the
individuals and organizations that provided comments to make this checklist
more effective.
