GAO's International Protocols (01-OCT-04, GAO-05-91SP). 	 
                                                                 
This report has been superseded by GAO-06-394SP GAO's		 
International Protocols, January 2006. This document contains the
protocols governing the U.S. Government Accountability Office's  
(GAO) work that has international components or implications.	 
These protocols are intended to provide clearly defined and	 
transparent policies and practices on how GAO will interact with 
U.S. federal departments and agencies, other national governments
and international organizations in its international work. They  
identify what international organizations and supreme audit	 
institutions (SAIs) can expect from GAO. These protocols are	 
intended to cover most situations that arise during the course of
GAO's work and are consistent, to the extent applicable, with the
protocols that govern GAO's work for the Congress and with U.S.  
federal agencies. These protocols--which are grounded in	 
applicable professional standards and GAO's core values of	 
accountability, integrity, and reliability--will enable us to	 
conduct international work more consistently, effectively, and	 
efficiently; achieve GAO's strategic goals; support improved	 
government performance and accountability worldwide; and better  
serve the Congress and the American people.
