Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO reviewed an independent accountant's audit of SEMATECH, Inc.'s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 1990.
GAO found that the accounting firm: (1) stated that the SEMATECH financial statements were fairly presented in all material respects in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles; (2) did not disclose in its review any material internal control weaknesses or noncompliance with the applicable laws and regulations; and (3) issued a management letter making several recommendations to improve SEMATECH management efficiency and enhance its internal control structure. GAO also found that: (1) there was no indication that the accounting firm's opinion could not be relied upon; (2) in response to the GAO review of its 1989 statements, SEMATECH corrected immaterial overstatements in depreciation accounts and clarified depreciation policies and practices in its 1990 statements; (3) SEMATECH did not incorporate in its financial statements a previous suggestion that it disclose postemployment payments it made to a former operating officer; (4) one of two member firms who had included a portion of prior-year contributions as overhead costs changed its accounting practices; (5) during 1990, SEMATECH had an average daily balance of $30 million in unexpended federal grant funds to meet its projected expenses, while daily expenditures averaged about $280,000; and (6) SEMATECH reimbursed the Treasury the $2.5 million interest it earned on surplus government funds in 1990. GAO believes that SEMATECH has an unnecessarily large amount of on-hand funds.
