Independent Attestation Review: National Institutes of Health Fiscal Year 2017 Detailed Accounting Submissions and Performance Summary Report for National Drug Control Activities and Accompanying Required Assertions

This report provides the results of our review of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) detailed accounting submissions, which include the tables of Fiscal Year 2017 Actual Obligations, related disclosures, and management's assertions for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017. We also reviewed the Performance Summary Report, which includes management's assertions and related performance information for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017.

We performed this review as required by 21 U.S.C. ' 1704(d)(A) and as authorized by 21 U.S.C. ' 1703(d)(7) and in compliance with the Office of National Drug Control Policy Circular Accounting of Drug Control Funding and Performance Summary, dated January 18, 2013 (the ONDCP Circular).

Based on our review, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that NIH's detailed accounting submission and Performance Summary Report for fiscal year 2017 were not fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the ONDCP Circular.
