Org. concerned with reporting

Answer:

IRS

Hint:

Not available

Explanation:

This clue plays on the double meaning of "reporting"—while it might first suggest news organizations, it actually hints at the IRS, which deals with financial reports like tax filings. The abbreviation "Org." is a common crossword shorthand for "organization," and the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) fits as a government body focused on collecting and reviewing financial data. The misdirection is classic crossword trickery, using a broad term to point to a more specific agency.
