Independent Auditor's Report for Fiscal Year 2021 Financial Statements

We contracted with Williams, Adley & Company-DC, LLC, an independent certified public accounting firm (CPA firm), to audit the financial statements of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. In the Independent Auditors' Report, the CPA firm concluded that the NEA’s financial statements were fairly presented in all material respects and thereby issued an unmodified opinion on those statements. In the Report on Internal Control, the CPA firm did not identify any material weaknesses. In the Report on Compliance, the CPA firm concluded that there were no instances of noncompliance for fiscal year 2021 that would be reportable under U.S. generally accepted government auditing standards.
