In a recently concluded study, the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) says, among other things, that Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) and Office of Financial Research (OFR) could benefit from more transparency. Though both the FSOC and OFR issue annual reports on their activities and created web pages that provide some information to the public, the GAO concluded that the FSOC's and OFR's management mechanisms to carry out their missions could be improved to provide greater accountability and transparency.
