What the document says
“Remedial actions the Secretary of Veterans Affairs may take-- (i) to improve the accuracy of supporting information submitted under section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code, with respect to the Department; and (ii) to prevent funding shortfalls for the Department.”
The fifth required element. It points at section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code, the budget submission provision, which is not indexed here.
What the document actually says
“Remedial actions the Secretary of Veterans Affairs may take-- (i) to improve the accuracy of supporting information submitted under section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code, with respect to the Department; and (ii) to prevent funding shortfalls for the Department.”
That sentence, in plain words
The review must list steps the head of the VA could take. The steps would make its money numbers more true. They would also keep it from running short again.
What this is about
A law in title 31 makes agencies send budget numbers to the President. The review must say how the VA can get those numbers right.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
