摘要

This paper discusses the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) financial operationsand financial reporting. To help inform the debate on these and other matters, on June 1, 1998, we evaluated the adequacy of IMF's public reporting in two areas: (1) its finances and financial condition and (2) its 'surveillance' or monitoring of member countries' economies.
