GPO Annual Report Details a Year of Change

The U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) has just released its annual report for fiscal year 2014, the first annual report since the agency changed its name. As detailed in IPG's March cover story, the information needs of Congress, Federal agencies and the public have moved beyond just print, and GPO now plays an increasingly prominent role in providing access to government information in digital formats through the agency’s Federal Digital System, apps, e-books and related technologies.

The GPO annual report notes that GPO’s operations recorded positive net income of $6.8 million for the year, net of revenues for passport-related capital investments and a decrease in long-term workers’ compensation liability.

“Fiscal year 2014 was a year of challenge and change for the GPO,” said GPO Director Davita Vance-Cooks. “I am pleased to report that we finished that year on a positive financial basis and ready to meet the challenges of fiscal year 2015. The men and women of the GPO deeply appreciate the support of the President and Congress for our digital transformation and our work in Keeping America Informed.”
