ADVANCES IN GOVERNMENTAL ACCOUNTING.
Abstract Comprehensive auditing of government corporations had its inception in Section 5 of Public Law of the Seventy-ninth Congress. This law was originated as the George Bill. It was passed February 24, 1945. On December 6, 1945, a second law was enacted concerning corporations which contained somewhat similar provisions as to auditing but also provided for budgetary and other controls. This was the Government Corporation Control Act. The first fiscal year for which audits were to be made was that ended June 30, 1945. Reports are addressed to the Comptroller General and transmitted by him to the Congress, one copy to each house. That to the House of Representatives is sent to the Speaker of the House. That to the Senate is sent to the President of the Senate. Copies go to the President of the United States, the corporations, the Treasury Department, and the Bureau of the Budget. Each report is printed, and a limited number of copies may be obtained from the House Document Room. Whenever there is public demand for as many as 500 additional copies of any report, the Government Printing Office will print an additional supply for sale at from ten cents per copy up, according to the size of the report.
