NASA Notches 15th Consecutive 'Clean' Audit Opinion, Reflecting Commitment to Fiscal Responsibility and Mission Success
For the fifth year in a row, and 15th time overall, NASA has received an unmodified audit opinion on its fiscal year 2025 financial statements. This rating is the highest possible, signifying that the agency's financial reports align with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for federal agencies and accurately reflect its financial position.
The latest clean audit opinion underscores NASA's dedication to transparent financial management and responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars. According to NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, the agency's commitment to innovation in space exploration, scientific discovery, and aeronautics is driven by a robust fiscal plan that fuels economic growth and supports America's global competitiveness.
The 2025 Agency Financial Report highlights NASA's progress over the past year, including significant advancements toward its Artemis II mission. The ambitious program aims to send four astronauts on a lunar flyby, testing systems and hardware for a manned return to the Moon. This achievement marks just one of many notable milestones, including two successful robotic missions to the lunar surface and the launch of a joint satellite project with India.
NASA also made headlines this year by identifying and tracking the third interstellar object in our solar system, achieving 25 continuous years of human presence on the International Space Station, and conducting a test flight of its X-59 supersonic plane. The latter marked an important step toward revolutionizing air travel.
The latest clean audit opinion is a testament to NASA's commitment to fiscal responsibility and its mission success. "This achievement reflects our team's diligent stewardship of NASA's resources," said Acting Chief Financial Officer Sidney Schmidt. "Their unwavering dedication to sound financial management and robust internal controls ensures we uphold public trust."
