GAO- 03- 1081R Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America, Inc.

United States General Accounting Office Washington, DC 20548

August 7, 2003 The Honorable F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr. Chairman,
Committee on the Judiciary House of Representatives

Subject: Federally Chartered Corporation: Review of the Financial
Statement Audit Reports for the Jewish War Veterans of the United States
of America, Inc., for Fiscal Years 2000- 2002 Dear Mr. Chairman:

As requested, we reviewed the audit reports covering the financial
statements of the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America,
Inc., a federally chartered corporation, for the fiscal years ended August
31, 2002, 2001, and 2000. The corporation*s purpose is to preserve the
records of patriotic service performed by the men and women of the Jewish
faith and honor their memory.

Federally chartered corporations are required under 36 U. S. C. S:10101 to

present the corporation*s assets and liabilities and reasonable detail on
the corporation*s income and expenses in annual financial statements, and

obtain an annual financial audit by an independent public accountant. The
objective of our review was to determine whether the audit reports
complied with the financial reporting requirements of the law. In carrying
out our work, we reviewed the corporation*s financial statements and the
accompanying notes, performed certain analytical procedures related to
information presented in the financial statements, and reviewed the
auditors* reports. We also held limited discussions with the corporation*s
auditors regarding potential enhancements that could be made to the
corporation*s financial reporting. However, we did not review the
auditors* working papers, and we are not rendering an audit opinion. Our
review disclosed no reportable instances of noncompliance with the
financial reporting requirements of the law.

financial statements of the

corporation were presented fairly in accordance with U. S. generally
accepted accounting principles. We are returning the audit reports you
sent with your letters.

Sincerely yours, Jeanette M. Franzel Director Financial Management and
Assurance
