Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System Financial Statements as of and for the Years Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and Independent Auditors’ Reports

We contracted with an independent public accounting firm to audit the financial statements of the Board as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, and to audit the Board’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015. The financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, were audited by a different independent public accounting firm. The OIG reviews and monitors the work of the contractor to ensure compliance with Government Auditing Standards and the contract.
