Department of Energy's Nuclear Waste Fund's Fiscal Year 2013 Financial Statement Audit

The Office of Inspector General contracted with the independent public accounting firm of KPMG, LLP (KPMG) to conduct an audit of the Department of Energy's Nuclear Waste Fund's Fiscal Year 2013 balance sheet and the related statements of net cost, changes in net position and combined statements of budgetary resources. 

KPMG concluded that the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, and its net costs, changes in net position, and budgetary resources for the years then ended, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

The auditors' review of the Fund's internal control structure and compliance with certain laws and regulations disclosed no deficiencies or instances of noncompliance required to be reported under generally accepted Government auditing standards or applicable Office of Management and Budget guidance.
