The year ahead. At the close of the year, we close the books and produce Financial Statements that disclose the citys actual Financial Condition at the end of the fiscal year. To ensure that those documents are full, complete, and tested, the board of supervisors retains an external financial auditor that reviews them and other things and then reports to you on their findings.

Without objection, the chair is authorized to declare a recess for the committee at any time, this subcommittee is convening a hearing on the document production efforts on the office of personnel management, the federal bureau of investigation, and the General Services administration in response to those committees and subcommittee document requests. I now recognize myself, for an Opening Statement. I want to thank the witnesses for being here, although i know there could be more comfortable hearings to attend. I regret we need to have this hearing. We are here because opm, the fbi, and gsa have not complied with the committees request for documents from several months ago.
