We plan to begin the subject audit in September 2018. This audit is required by Office of Management and Budget Bulletin 17-03, "Audit Requirements for Federal Financial Statements," September 29, 2017. Our objective is to determine whether the DoD Closing Package Financial Statements and accompanying notes, as of September 30, 2018, and September 30, 2017, present fairly, in all material respects, the DoD's financial position, net costs, and changes in net position, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the presentation requirements of the Treasury Financial Manual, volume 1, part 2, chapter 4700 (TFM 2-4700).
