We contracted with the independent certified public accounting firm of Brown & Company Certified Public Accountants and Management Consultants PLLC to conduct an audit of USAID’s compliance in fiscal year 2021 with the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act of 2014. The audit firm concluded that USAID complied with the requirements of the DATA Act and the data reported for fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 for publication on USAspending.gov were complete, timely, accurate, and of higher quality. We made two recommendations to help strengthen USAID’s internal controls over its DATA Act reporting.
