April 30, 2001 To the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House
of Representatives
This report presents our opinion on the financial statements of the Capitol
Preservation Fund for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. It
also discusses our consideration of the Fund's internal control and our
tests of compliance with laws and regulations during fiscal year 2000. We
conducted our audit pursuant to 40 U. S. C. 188a- 3 and in accordance with
U. S. generally accepted government auditing standards. We appreciate the
cooperation and assistance that the Office of the Secretary of the Senate,
the Office of the Clerk of the House of Representatives, and the staffs of
the Architect of the Capitol and the Library of Congress provided during our
audit.
We are sending copies of this report to the members of the Capitol
Preservation Commission; the Honorable Gary Sisco, Secretary of the Senate;
the Honorable Jeffrey T. Trandahl, Clerk of the House of Representatives;
the Honorable Alan M. Hantman, Architect of the Capitol; the Honorable James
H. Billington, Librarian of Congress; and other interested parties. This
report was prepared under the direction of Jeanette M. Franzel, Acting
Director, who can be reached at (202) 512- 9406. If I can be of further
assistance, please call me at (202) 512- 2600. Jeffrey C. Steinhoff Managing
Director Financial Management and Assurance
Audi Report or? t s To the Members of the Capitol Preservation Commission We
have audited the statements of financial position of the Capitol
Preservation Fund as of September 30, 2000 and 1999, and the related
statements of activities and statements of cash flows for the fiscal years
then ended. We found
the financial statements are presented fairly in conformity with U. S.
generally accepted accounting principles,
no material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting
(including safeguarding assets) and compliance with laws and regulations,
and
no reportable noncompliance with the provisions of laws and regulations we
tested.
The following sections provide additional detail about our conclusions and
the scope of our audit.
Opinion on Financial The financial statements and accompanying notes present
fairly, in all Statements
material respects, in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting
principles, the Capitol Preservation Fund's financial position as of
September 30, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its activities and its cash
flows for the fiscal years then ended.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules shown by
source of funds as of and for the periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999
are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required
part of the basic financial statements. This information has been subjected
to the audit procedures applied to the audit of the basic financial
statements. In our opinion, the information in the supplemental schedules is
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.
Consideration of In planning and performing our audit of the Capitol
Preservation Fund's Internal Control
fiscal year 2000 financial statements, we considered the Fund's internal
control 1 in order to determine our procedures for auditing the financial
statements. The purpose of our consideration of internal control was not to
provide an opinion on internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an
opinion on internal control. However, for the controls we tested, we found
no material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting
(including safeguarding assets) and compliance. A material weakness is a
condition in which the design or operation of internal control does not
reduce to a relatively low level the risk that errors, fraud, or
noncompliance in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial
statements may occur and not be detected promptly by employees in the normal
course of performing their duties. Our consideration of internal control
would not necessarily disclose all material weaknesses.
Compliance With Laws Our tests for compliance with selected provisions of
laws and regulations
and Regulations disclosed no instances of noncompliance that would be
reportable under
U. S. generally accepted government auditing standards. However, the
objective of our audit was not to provide an opinion on overall compliance
with laws and regulations. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Objectives, Scope, and
The management of the Capitol Preservation Commission is responsible
Methodology for
preparing the Fund's annual financial statements in conformity with U. S.
generally accepted accounting principles, 1 We considered internal control
over financial reporting and compliance. The objectives of financial
reporting control are to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
properly recorded, processed, and summarized to permit the preparation of
the financial statements in conformity with U. S. generally accepted
accounting principles, and assets are safeguarded against loss from
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition. The objective of compliance
control is to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are executed in
accordance with laws governing the use of budget authority and other laws
and regulations
that could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements.
establishing and maintaining internal control to provide reasonable
assurance that the objectives of internal control 2 are met, and
complying with applicable laws and regulations. We are responsible for
obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
presented fairly, in all material respects, in conformity with U. S.
generally accepted accounting principles, obtaining a sufficient
understanding of internal control over financial reporting and compliance
with laws and regulations to plan the audit, and
testing compliance with selected provisions of laws and regulations that
have a direct and material effect on the financial statements.
In order to fulfill these responsibilities, we (1) examined, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and supplemental schedules, (2) assessed the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, (3) evaluated
the overall presentation of the financial statements and supplemental
schedules, (4) obtained an understanding of the design and
operation of internal control related to financial reporting (including
safeguarding assets) and compliance with laws and regulations and tested
selected internal controls, and (5) tested compliance with selected
provisions of the following laws and/ or regulations.
Capitol Preservation Commission and Capitol Preservation Fund enabling
legislation, 40 U. S. C. 188a- 188a- 5.
Public laws providing commemorative coin surcharges to the Capitol
Preservation Fund: Bicentennial of the United States Congress Commemorative
Coin Act, Public Law 100- 673; Bicentennial of the United States Capitol
Commemorative Coin Act, Title IV, Public Law 103- 186; and United States
Capitol Visitor Center Commemorative Coin Act of 1999, Title II, Public Law
106- 126.
2 Management?s internal control responsibility encompasses controls related
to (1) the effectiveness and efficiency of operations including the use of
resources, (2) the reliability of financial reporting including internal and
external reports on the use of resources and financial statements, and (3)
compliance with laws and regulations. Within each of these categories,
management is responsible for establishing controls to prevent or promptly
detect unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of assets (safeguarding
assets).
We did not test all internal controls relevant to the operations of the
Capitol Preservation Fund. We limited our consideration to internal control
over financial reporting and compliance with laws and regulations for the
purpose of planning our audit. Because of inherent limitations in internal
control, misstatements due to error or fraud, losses, or noncompliance may
nevertheless occur and not be detected. We also caution that projecting our
consideration of internal control to future periods is subject to the risk
that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that
the degree of compliance with controls may deteriorate. In addition, we
caution that our internal control testing may not be sufficient for other
purposes.
We did not test compliance with all laws and regulations applicable to the
Capitol Preservation Fund. We limited our tests of compliance to selected
provisions of laws and regulations that we deemed applicable to the Fund's
financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000. We
caution that non- compliance may occur and not be detected by our tests
and such testing may not be sufficient for other purposes. We performed our
work from January 2, 2001 through February 9, 2001 in accordance with U. S.
generally accepted government auditing standards.
Commission We provided a draft of our report to representatives of the
Capitol Comments
Preservation Commission for their review and comment. The Commission's
representatives agreed with the contents of our report.

Notes to Financial Statements CAPITOL PRESERVATION FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF ENTITY
The Capitol Preservation Commission (the Commission) was established under
Title VIII of Public Law 100- 696 in November 1988 for the purpose of
providing for improvements in, preservation of, and acquisitions for the
United States Capitol and providing works of fine art and other property for
display in the United States Capitol and other locations under the control
of the Congress.
To finance improvement, preservation, and acquisition activities of the
Commission, Title VIII of Public Law 100- 696 established the Capitol
Preservation Fund (the Fund) within the U. S. Treasury. The Fund consists of
assets provided through deposits of charitable contributions, surcharges
received by the Secretary of the Treasury from the sale of coins under the
Bicentennial of the United States Congress Commemorative Coin Act and the
Bicentennial of the United States Capitol Commemorative Coin Act, and
interest on the invested portions of the Fund?s assets. Fund assets not
required to finance current improvement, preservation, and acquisition
activities are invested in interest- bearing obligations of the United
States.
In accordance with its rules, the Commission may fund or assist in the
funding of improvements to the Capitol Building and surrounding grounds if
such improvements are authorized, undertaken, and completed under the
procedures established by the Congress for such purposes. With respect to
works of fine art and other property for display, the Commission is
authorized to expend $400,000 ($ 200,000 for the House of Representatives
and $200,000 for the Senate) for the purchase of art, furnishings, or items
of historical interest provided that such expenses are approved by a
majority of the members of the Commission from the House of Congress for
which such purchases are made. However, the Commission may not maintain any
collection of fine or decorative art, or other property, but may assist in
the transfer of such items to a Congressional entity (such as the Senate
Commission on Art, the House Fine Arts Board, or the Joint Committee on the
Library) or facilitate the disposal of items.
The Architect of the Capitol, the Senate Commission on Art, the House of
Representatives Fine Arts Board are required by Public Law 100- 696 (1988),
to provide staff support and assistance to the Commission. As necessary, the
Architect of the Capitol awards contracts and procures goods and services to
complete projects established by the Commission, and ensures that goods and
services purchased from
vendors are received. Similarly, the Library of Congress, pursuant to Public
Law 101- 45, (1989) is required to provide financial management services for
the Commission. These services include coordinating activities with the
Department of the Treasury for the deposit, disbursement, investment, and
management of the Capitol Preservation Fund. In addition to these
congressional entities, the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the
House of Representatives, pursuant to Commission Rules, provide additional
support and assistance.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Fund?s financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U. S.
generally accepted accounting principles and reflect- on an accrual basis-
the receipt and use of the Fund?s assets to finance the Commission?s
improvement, preservation, and acquisition activities. The Fund?s
investments are recorded at cost, net of discounts, which approximates fair
market value. The Fund?s investments are invested in short term (3 and 6
month) interest- bearing Treasury obligations.
The Architect of the Capitol, the Library of Congress, and other
congressional entities are required by law to provide support services to
the Commission. The cost of these services are, by their nature, indirect,
difficult to quantify, and financed with appropriated funds of the other
entities. To the extent that these services are provided, they are not
considered operating expenses of the Fund.
Once approved and funded by the Commission, the improvements, preservation,
and acquisitions are transferred to the Architect of the Capitol and/ or
other congressional entities. Through their transfer, these assets become
the accounting responsibility of other congressional entities and are not
considered assets of the Fund.
NOTE 3: INVESTMENTS, NET
Deposits to the Fund from contributions, coin surcharges, and interest on
invested funds that are not needed currently to finance improvement,
preservation, and acquisition activities are invested in interest- bearing
obligations of the United States, which are purchased from the U. S.
Treasury at a discount. The Commission has directed the Library of Congress
to invest funds derived from contributions in 3- month Treasury securities
and funds derived from coin surcharges in 6- month Treasury securities. The
value of investments outstanding as of September 30, 2000 and 1999, net of
discounts, was $29,087,824 and $27,627,052 respectively. Annual investment
rates ranged from 4.67 percent to 6.14 percent in fiscal year 2000 and from
3.32 percent to 4.96 percent in fiscal year 1999.
Outstanding Investments as of September 30 2000 1999 Face Value of
Investments $ 29,952,000 $ 28,285,000 Less: Discounts (864,176) (657,948)
Investments, Net of Discounts $ 29,087,824 $ 27,627,052
NOTE 4: REVENUES
Earned operating revenues during fiscal year 2000 of $1,599,011 and fiscal
year 1999 earned revenues of $1,274,587 consisted only of interest on United
States Treasury obligations.
NOTE 5: PURCHASE EXPENDITURES
During fiscal year 2000, Fund assets were used for purchases of antique
furnishings for display and artwork for future exhibition in the U. S.
Senate wing of the Capitol and for materials related to the June 20, 2000,
groundbreaking ceremony for the Capitol Visitor Center.
