WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has unveiled its Fiscal Year 2024 Agency Financial Report, showcasing the agency’s achievements in safeguarding consumers and fostering healthy competition. This comprehensive document underscores the FTC’s unwavering commitment to prudent financial management and operational transparency.

Central to this report is the FTC’s 28th consecutive unmodified audit opinion—an accolade that reflects the highest level of financial auditing standards. This unblemished record underscores the agency’s dedication to maintaining financial integrity and transparency, a critical aspect in ensuring continued public trust and accountability.

The report, a statutory requirement set forth by the Office of Management and Budget, provides a detailed analysis of the FTC’s financial performance over the past fiscal year. It includes meticulously audited financial statements alongside an evaluation by the Office of the Inspector General. This assessment highlights the FTC’s significant managerial accomplishments while also identifying areas for potential performance enhancement.

The agency’s financial report has been formally submitted to Congress and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, fulfilling obligations under several key legislative mandates such as the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990, the Government Management Reform Act of 1994, and the Accountability of Tax Dollars Act of 2002. This adherence to financial reporting standards is crucial for demonstrating the agency’s effective stewardship of taxpayer resources.

Throughout FY 2024, the FTC has made notable strides in its dual mission of consumer protection and competition enforcement. The agency has undertaken numerous initiatives to combat deceptive practices and anticompetitive conduct, thereby safeguarding the interests of American consumers and ensuring a competitive marketplace. These efforts have been instrumental in reinforcing the FTC’s role as a pivotal regulatory body committed to fostering a fair economic environment.
