ANNUAL REPORT TO VA

Discussion

The statute that authorizes the VA affiliated nonprofit research and education corporations (NPCs) requires VA to submit to the House and Senate Committees on Veterans Affairs an annual report regarding the NPCs and their activities. To assemble the necessary information, each NPC must submit by June 1 a report containing information specified in the statute and in instructions contained in Appendix A of Handbook 1200.17 and Handbook 1400.2

A “VA Nonprofit Program Office” has been established in response to IG, GAO and congressional concerns that VA was not providing adequate oversight of the NPCs. This office has been tasked with collecting the annual report for all NPCs.
