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 Navy Club of the United States of America
for Fiscal Years 2002 and 2001
Dear Mr. Chairman:
As requested, we reviewed the audit reports covering the financial
statements of the Navy Club of the United States of America, a federally
chartered corporation, for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2002 and 2001.
The corporation's purpose is to encourage, promote, and maintain
comradeship among those persons who are or have been in active service of
the United States Navy, the United States Marine Corps, or the United
States Coast Guard.
Federally chartered corporations are required under 36 U.S.C. S:10101 to
o present the corporation's assets and liabilities and reasonable detail
on the corporation's income and expenses in annual financial statements,
and
o 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. 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.
GAO-04-27R Navy Club of the United States of America
The audit reports included the auditors' opinions that the 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 letter.
Sincerely yours,
Jeanette M. Franzel
Director
