This report is contained in the CPSC’s Annual Financial Report which also contains the complete set of financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis, and required supplementary and other information. KPMG found that the CPSC received a qualified or clean opinion. However, the agency was found to have two material weaknesses, first identified in FY 2023; and one significant deficiency.
