The Honest Leadership and Open Government Act of 2007 (HLOGA) requires lobbyists to file quarterly lobbying disclosure reports and semiannual reports on certain political contributions. HLOGA also requires GAO to audit the extent of lobbyists’ compliance with the requirements of the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 (LDA) by reviewing publicly available lobbying registrations and a random sampling of reports filed during each calendar year. HLOGA requires that GAO annually (1) determine the extent to which lobbyists can demonstrate compliance with disclosure requirements; (2) identify any challenges to compliance that lobbyists report; and (3) describe the resources and authorities available to the Office and the efforts the Office has made to improve its enforcement of the (LDA). This is GAO’s 5th report under the mandate. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
