The Bureau recently finished work on its Annual Report, which is required by the Chief Financial Officers Act. A key part of this report was BLM's financial statements, which were subject to a rigorous audit by the Department of the Interior's Office of Inspector General. The auditors concluded that the "financial statements and accompanying notes present fairly the Bureau of Land Management's assets, liabilities, and net position ..."
This is the second consecutive year that the BLM has received an unqualified (favorable) audit opinion. "This is a reflection of the importance and priority the agency has always placed on its stewardship responsibilities, as well as our commitment to sound financial management" said Nina Hatfield, BLM's Chief Financial Officer.
For the first time this year, the Bureau has combined the reporting requirements of the Chief Financial Officers Act, the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, and the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). "We believe combining these reports gives the American public and BLM employees a more concise view of the Bureau of Land Management, its objectives, and its accomplishments" said Hatfield.
All Bureau employees will be given a personal copy of the Annual Report in March when it comes back from the GPO contract printer. Thanks to a minimal use of color and other efficiencies, the printing and shipping costs will run only about $0.87 per copy.
