SUMMARY OF: State of Alaska, Single Audit for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2023   Purpose of the Report This report summarizes our review of the State of Alaska’s basic financial statements and the State’s compliance with federal laws and regulations in the administration of approximately $5.7 billion of federal financial assistance programs. The audit was conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.

Report Conclusions The Alaska International Airports Fund FY 23 audit was not available at the time the State’s financial statement opinions were issued. As a result, we were unable to obtain evidence that the major enterprise fund’s amounts are properly reported as included in the statements of financial position, changes in financial position, and cash flows.
