USAID Complied in Fiscal Year 2017 With the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act of 2014

We contracted with the independent certified public accounting firm of GKA P.C. to conduct an audit of USAID’s compliance with the DATA Act. The audit firm concluded that USAID’s fiscal year 2017 financial and award data for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, substantially complied with the act’s requirements for completeness, timeliness, quality, and accuracy. The audit firm also concluded that USAID effectively implemented and followed the applicable Governmentwide financial data standards established by OMB and Treasury. We agreed with the report conclusions. The report contained no recommendations.
