Abstract

Section 101 of the bill provides GAO authority to audit expenditures authorized by law to be accounted for solely on the approval or certificate of the President or other officials. These are the so-called "unvouchered" or confidential funds provided to a number of Federal agencies. We would be authorized to examine records and other information necessary to determine and advise the cognizant congressional committees as to whether such expenditures were made for authorized purposes.
