Abstract
The purpose ofthis study is to perform a preliminary analysis of independent audit opinions issued on government agency financial statements and the related material weaknesses in internal control. This study focuses on both the described severity and the cited number of weaknesses to infer their impact on the auditor's opinion. The questions for research arose during my internship with the United States Government Accountability Office (GAO). worked with a team auditing the financial statements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), a federal agency that is very involved in regulating internal control for publicly-traded organizations. The material weaknesses that I witnessed at the SEC prompted me to investigate the existence of weaknesses in other government agencies.
