Federal Manager's Daily Report

The Office of Management and Budget has announced that it is

amending Bulletin No. 01-02, Audit Requirements for Federal

Financial Statements, providing guidance on financial

statement audits of federal agencies.


It said as of fiscal 2004 agencies are required to submit

audited financial statement information for the compilation

of the Financial Report of the United States Government.


The procedures agencies are required to follow for the

retirement, health benefits and life insurance withholdings

and contributions, and the supplemental headcount report

submitted to OPM has changed as well, said OMB.


The amendments as well as an updated listing of agencies

subject to the accountability of tax dollars act of 2002 can
