Requirements for Recurring Reports to the Congress

In accordance with his responsibility to identify congressional information needs, the Comptroller General has compiled a directory describing the various requirements for recurring reports to Congress from the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the federal government. This current inventory of requirements was compiled from information furnished by preparing agencies in response to a GAO request. The emphasis in the inventory is on the differences between actual requirements for reports and actual submissions. A descriptive abstract of each available report is contained in the citation section. The directory includes statutory and nonstatutory requirements for recurring reports, as well as some voluntary submissions.
