Subject: Federally Chartered Corporation: Financial Statement Audit Report
for the Jewish War Veterans, U.S.A., National Memorial, Incorporated, for
Fiscal Years 2005 and 2004
Dear Mr. Chairman:
As requested, we read the audit report covering the financial
statements of the Jewish War Veterans, U.S.A., National Memorial,
Incorporated, a federally chartered corporation, for the fiscal
years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. The corporation's purposes
include maintaining a national memorial and museum dedicated to
commemorating the service and sacrifice by Americans of the Jewish
faith in the Armed Forces of the United States during periods of
war.
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.
Our objective was to advise you of any matters in the report regarding
compliance with the financial reporting requirements of the law. In
carrying out our work, we read the corporation's financial statements and
the accompanying notes, performed certain analytical procedures related to
information presented in the financial statements, and read the auditor's
report. We did not identify any instance of noncompliance with the above
financial reporting requirements of the law.
We did not perform an audit or review the auditor's audit documentation,
and we are not rendering an audit opinion.
The audit report included the auditor's opinion that the financial
statements of the corporation were presented fairly in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We are returning the audit
report you sent with your letter.
This letter is intended solely for your use and the use of the Committee
on the Judiciary. This letter will be available at no charge on GAO's Web
