Bill > S3148

This bill, the Inspector General Reporting Modernization Act of 2021, modifies the semiannual reports submitted by Inspectors General (IGs). The key changes include: (1) requiring IGs to provide more detailed information in their reports, such as a description of significant problems and recommendations, a summary of closed investigations, and a report on investigations of misconduct involving senior government officials; (2) revising the reporting requirements for audit, inspection, and evaluation activities, including information on questioned costs, funds to be put to better use, and management decisions; and (3) allowing IGs to provide links to previously published information on their websites or oversight.gov instead of including the full details in their reports. The goal is to modernize and enhance the transparency of IG reporting to Congress and the public.
