The objective of the evaluation was to assess the effectiveness of the Commission’s security program and practices across key functional areas as of September 30, 2020. The Commission made progress through implementation of security policies, procedures, and strategies, but lacked quantitative and qualitative measures to assess them. During FY20, there were six findings and nine corresponding recommendations regarding the Commission’s information security program including: 1. Vulnerabilities not being remediated in a timely manner; 2.

The auditors determined that for FY2020, the financial statements were fairly presented, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The independent audit report includes two material weaknesses and three significant deficiencies related to the Commission’s internal control over financial reporting, and one finding related to noncompliance. The auditors made 25 recommendations in the report.
