New! GSA's 2022 Agency Financial Report is Here
Check out GSA's FY 2022 Agency Financial Report, which was released on earlier this week.
GSA’s agency financial report demonstrates our commitment to accountability to Congress and to American taxpayers. The Department of Treasury combines GSA's AFR with reports from the other federal agencies, producing the Financial Report of the United States Government. This report provides a comprehensive overview of the Federal Government's finances as well as an audit opinion from an independent third party.
A big shout out to the Office of Financial Management and everyone across OCFO and GSA who contributed to making this year's AFR happen.
