NASA Report under Good Accounting Obligation
The Report explains the background of publishing the audit recommendations issued by the GAO and OIG of the United States of America. Key reasons included:
to improve transparency into long-standing audit recommendations issued by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and federal Office of Inspectors General (OIG)
to hold Federal agencies more accountable
to help the public more readily assess agency funding requests in light of unfulfilled efficiency improvements that could potentially yield cost savings
to report on publicly-issued GAO recommendations which were determined to “closed but not implemented.”
to provide an explanation as to why final management action has not yet been completed
to perform a reconciliation of discrepancies between recommendations reported by GAO and OIGs, and Federal agencies.
