Government

ACTION: Notice Of Document Availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is seeking 
public comments on the proposed revisions to the Standards for Internal 
Control in the Federal Government, known as the ``Green Book,'' under 
the authority provided in 31 U.S.C. 3512 (c), (d), commonly known as 
the Federal Managers' Financial Integrity Act. To help ensure that the 
standards continue to meet the needs of government managers and the 
audit community it serves, the Comptroller General of the United States 
established the Green Book Advisory Council to provide input on 
revisions to the ``Green Book.'' This exposure draft of the standards 
includes the Advisory Council's input regarding the proposed changes. 
We are currently requesting public comments on the proposed revisions 
in the exposure draft. The proposed changes contained in the 2013 
Exposure Draft update to the Standards for Internal Control in the 
Federal Government reflect major developments in the accountability and 
financial management profession and emphasize specific considerations 
applicable to the government environment.
    The draft of the proposed changes to Standards for Internal Control 
in the Federal Government, 2013 Exposure Draft, will only be available 
in electronic format and will be available to be downloaded from GAO's 
Web page at www.gao.gov. All comments will be considered a matter of 
public record and will ultimately be posted on the GAO Web page.

DATES: The exposure period will be from September 2, 2013 to December 
2, 2013.

ADDRESSES: Comment letters should be emailed to [email protected]. 
Please include Comment Letter in the subject line of the email.
