The bill, briefly
Good Accounting Obligation in Government Act or the GAO-IG Act This bill requires each federal agency (including each legislative branch agency), in its annual budget justification, to include a report on (1) each public recommendation of the Government Accountability Office (GAO) that is designated as "open" or "closed, unimplemented" for a period of at least one year preceding the date on which such justification is submitted; (2) each public recommendation for corrective action from the agency's office of the inspector general (OIG) that was published at least one year before the justification is submitted for which no final action was taken; and (3) the implementation status of each such recommendation. Each agency shall also provide a copy of this information to its OIG and to the GAO. The deadline for submission to Congress of agency statements is extended.

What happened after enactment?
Dated agency-reported implementation and uptake measures are shown with their scope. They do not by themselves establish causal success. If no evidence is listed, the outcome is not established.
Measured outcome: not established
Enactment alone does not show whether a law improved its intended outcome. We need a dated evaluation, observed result or verified implementation record before claiming success or failure.
