The act also requires the VA Office of Inspector General to report to Congress on (1) the circumstances and causes of certain funding shortfalls that the VA has projected for the VBA and the Veterans Health Administration, and (2) actions that the VA can take to improve the accuracy of the supporting information submitted with the President's budget and prevent funding shortfalls.
