Despite some stories that support the claim of an annual audit, it's interesting that USA Today goes with 1974 being the last reported audit.
Elon Musk urges US check that gold isn't missing from Fort Knox
There's some thought that an actual audit, likely involving members of Congress being inside the vault(s) (as they were in '74) might be a precursor to changing the official valuation of the reserves. That would put several hundred million onto the Treasury books ... and isn't unprecedented. Same thing occurred in 1972.
