would not be required simply to report to other committees

Explanation:
The writer seems to me to be hoping that the CDIP will provide useful ongoing information and not just be a lower link in a hierarchical chain of committees producing routine, formal reports.

it can also mean to submit an account for payment but I don't believe this is the case in the context you've given. it seems more like just not having to inform or explain their actions to others

often, not always, this means getting permission ("Approval")to go ahead/continue once they've "rendered their account" or explained their actions
