The Â鶹´«Ã½ Trade Commission’s Fiscal Year 2014 Agency Financial Report provides an overview of fiscal and key performance results that show how the agency has managed its resources. The report includes highlights from FTC programs, accomplishments in its mission of protecting consumers and promoting competition, and plans for addressing future challenges. The report also demonstrates the FTC’s sound financial management and stewardship of public funds.

Prepared in accordance with OMB Circular A-136, this report includes annual audited financial statements, as well as the Office of the Inspector General’s summary of identified management and performance challenges.
