finances;
workforce; and
actions taken to achieve the goals, objectives, and performance measures of the office.

(Sec. 5) The bill expands the duties of the OFR to include:
publishing an annual work plan;
consulting with other federal departments and agencies with relevant expertise prior to preparing any public report with respect to a specified entity, class of entities, or financial product or service; and
developing and implementing a cybersecurity plan.
The Government Accountability Office must annually audit the cybersecurity plan and its implementation.
Bill titles: To place the Financial Stability Oversight Council and the Office of Financial Research under the regular appropriations process, to provide for certain quarterly reporting and public notice and comment requirements for the Office of Financial Research, and for other purposes.
