Examination of CrossBoundary LLC 's Compliance with the Terms and Conditions of Subcontract SUB-1284, Building Regional Economic Bridges Program in West Bank and Gaza, November 17, 2022, to December 31, 2023
Amtrak (the company) contracted with the independent certified public accounting firm of Ernst & Young LLP to audit its consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2024, and for the year then ended, and to provide a report on internal control over financial reporting and on compliance and other matters. Because the company receives federal assistance, it must obtain an audit performed in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards.
As required by the Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended, we monitored the audit activities of Ernst & Young to help ensure audit quality and compliance with auditing standards. Our monitoring focused on two Ernst & Young reports and disclosed no instances in which Ernst & Young did not comply, in all material respects, with generally accepted government auditing standards. We reached this conclusion by monitoring Ernst & Young’s audit activities, which included reviewing its reports, auditor independence and qualifications, audit plans, detailed testing results, summary work papers, and quality controls. We also attended key meetings.
Ernst & Young’s first report was its audit of the company’s consolidated financial statements for fiscal year (FY) 2024. In a report dated December 12, 2024, Ernst & Young concluded that the company’s consolidated financial statements were presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Further, the report emphasized that the company has a history of operating losses and without receipt of federal government funding, the company will not be able to continue in its current form, and significant operating changes, restructurings, or bankruptcy might occur.
