BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL


Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES


The Financial Disclosure Process Of The

Legislative Branch Can Be Improved


The House and Senate Ethics Committees are
responsible for implementing and administer-
ing the requirements of title I of the Ethics in
Government Act. Both Committees can do
more to improve their financial disclosure
process.

Because of the absence of a well-defined dis-
closure system and strict enforcement, the
intent of the law is not being met. Further-
more, certain individuals--primarily candidates
for office--are not filing their reports within
the required deadlines.

GAO recommends that improvements be made
in the financial disclosure process and that dis-
closure reports be audited for completeness
and accuracy to increase the integrity of the
process.
