All executive agencies, pursuant to the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990 and the Accountability for Tax Dollars Act of 2002, are required to prepare and submit audited financial statements to OMB and the Congress. Recognizing that financial and performance information in one document presents a more comprehensive and integrated picture of agency performance, OMB expanded the authorization granted under the Reports Consolidation Act of 2000 to require that agencies prepare a combined Performance and Accountability Report (PAR) each year. The Department of the Treasury, in consultation with OMB, issues the Financial Report of the United States Government.
