Summary: GAO reviewed the Savings Association Insurance Fund's: (1) financial statements for the period August 9, 1989, through December 31, 1989; and (2) internal accounting controls and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
GAO found that: (1) during fiscal year (FY) 1992 through FY 1999, the Fund would annually receive at least $2 billion; (2) the Department of the Treasury was required to make those annual payments to the Fund, not to exceed a total of $16 billion, through FY 2000; (3) the Fund might confront significant costs, perhaps even a backlog of failed institutions, when it assumes resolution responsibility in 1992; (4) funding sources for the Fund might be inadequate under those conditions; (5) except as noted, the financial statements presented fairly the Fund's financial position for the period August 9, 1989, through December 31, 1989; (6) the Fund's internal control structure and its operations did not have any material weaknesses; and (7) the Fund complied with laws and regulations that could have materially affected its financial position.
