As required by the Government Management Reform Act of 1994, we audited the U.S. Department of Energy's (Department) consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 to determine whether they presented fairly, in all material respects, the Department's financial position, net cost, changes in net position, budgetary resources, financing activities, and custodial activities in conformity with Federal accounting standards.
