Audit Committee Report
In accordance with its written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee
assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the quality and integrity of
the accounting, auditing, and financial reporting practices of the Bank.
The Audit Committee of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLBNY) for 2010 is currently
composed of eight Directors, one of whom was appointed to the Board by the Federal Housing Finance
Board and seven of whom were elected to the Board by the members of the FHLBNY. The Audit
Committee had eight meetings during 2010 and during these meetings the Audit Committee met
separately with the Chief Audit Officer and the independent registered public accounting firm.
Management has the primary responsibility for the preparation and integrity of the FHLBNYs
financial statements, accounting and financial reporting principles and internal controls and
procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and
regulations. FHLBNYs independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP,
is responsible for performing an independent audit of the financial statements and expressing an
opinion on the conformity of those financial statements with generally accepted accounting
principles.
The Audit Committee oversees the FHLBNYs financial reporting process; reviews the programs and
policies of the FHLBNY designed to ensure compliance with applicable laws, regulations and policies
and monitors the results of these compliance efforts; and advises and assists the Board of
Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to risk management, internal
controls, the accounting policies and financial reporting and disclosure practices of the FHLBNY,
and the independent registered public accounting firm of the FHLBNY.
The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the 2010 audited financial statements with
management and the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has reviewed
and discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm all communications required by
generally accepted auditing standards, including those described in Statement on Auditing Standards
(SAS) No. 114, The Auditors Communication With Those Charged With Governance and with and
without management present, discussed and reviewed the results of the independent registered public
accounting firms audit of the financial statements. The Audit Committee has also received the
written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required
by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, and
has discussed the independent public registered accounting firms independence with them.
Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board
of Directors that the FHLBNYs audited financial statements be included in the FHLBNYs Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, for filing with the SEC.
