Requires Congress to hold annual public hearings on the government's financial health.
This bill would require the House and Senate Budget Committees to hold a public hearing each year. At this hearing, the Comptroller General would explain the government's financial audit. This means everyday Americans would get a clearer, public look at how the federal government is managing its money.
Today, the government's financial audit is submitted, but there's no required annual public hearing for Congress to review it with the Comptroller General. If this bill passes, Congress would be required to hold a joint public hearing every year within 45 business days of the Treasury Secretary submitting the audited financial statement. This hearing would feature a presentation from the Comptroller General on the government's financial health, and it would be open to all members of Congress and the public.
