U.S. Government Accountability Office: Performance and		 
Accountability Highlights: Fiscal Year 2006 (30-JAN-07, 	 
GAO-07-3SP).							 
                                                                 
This report presents the highlights of GAO's fiscal year 2006	 
Performance and Accountability report. In short, fiscal year 2006
was an exceptional year for GAO. For example, we received a clean
opinion from independent auditors on our financial statements.	 
Senior GAO executives and the Comptroller General delivered	 
testimonies at 240 hearings covering a range of topics, including
the tax gap and tax reform, U.S. border security, Iraq and	 
Hurricane Katrina activities, and issues affecting the health and
pay of military servicemembers. Our testimonies significantly	 
surpassed the fiscal year 2006 target we set as well as our	 
actual performance over the last 4 years, and 92 percent of the  
congressional staff responding to our client feedback survey	 
either strongly or generally agreed that our testimonies and	 
written products were delivered on time to them. Though we were 6
percentage points shy of our timeliness target, we will continue 
our quest to improve the timeliness of our products. In addition,
we also met or exceeded four of our eight performance measures	 
that gauge how well we developed, challenged, and managed our	 
workforce. We documented $51 billion in financial benefits--a	 
record high for us that represents a return of $105 for every	 
dollar we spent--and over 1,342 nonfinancial benefits.
