Federal Entities are defined, in Section 8G(a)(1) of the Inspector General Act, as any Government corporation (within the meaning of section 103(1) of title 5, United States Code), any Government controlled corporation (within the meaning of section 103(2) of such title), or any other entity in the Executive Branch of the government, or any independent regulatory agency, but does not include: (1) An establishment (as defined in Section 11(2) of the Inspector General Act) or part of an establishment,

(5) The Government Accountability Office, or
(6) Any entity in the judicial or legislative branches of the Government, including the Administrative Office of the United States Courts and the Architect of the Capitol and any activities under the direction of the Architect of the Capitol.

Federal Entities are required to report annually to each House of the Congress and OMB on audit and investigative activities in their organizations.
