All subordinate bodies and the advisory commission must send reports to the council. The council then reports to the President or department heads on special topics. The President may allow some spending without receipts, up to amounts he sets.

Every subordinate body, along with the advisory commission, must submit reports to the council. In turn, the council periodically reports to the President or to the heads of executive departments on special inquiries or subjects that fit those reports. Separately, when the President thinks it's appropriate, he may authorize "unvouchered expenditures" — spending that doesn't require the normal itemized proof or receipts — but only up to amounts that he personally sets.
