I take "The list of the issues found today." to mean that the process of searching for issues started and ended today.

I take "The list of the issues found as of today." to have been an ongoing process that started some time ago and ended today.

The list of the issues found as of today.

I suggest that you use the proper phrase when asking for help. " I would like to know " is a much preferred alternative.

harry1999The list of the issues found today.
vs
The list of the issues found as of today.

Both are not complete sentences. Please post future questions with more tangible or complete contexts so that we can see how to approach your question(s) to help you. As stand, they don't mean a whole lot.

As of today = So far, as current as today. As of today, our revenue goal has been achieved with a quarter left in the fiscal year.

But this phrase doesn't work too well with " The list of the issues found as of today.". But if the context were: "as of today the list of problems found / discovered to have been related to the engine failure all seemed to point to the design flaws ", then it's fine.

Hi,

The list of the issues found as of today.

This sounds to me like you expect to find more in the future, eg tomorrow.
