    The Government Accountability Office is the investigative arm of the
    Congress and is charged with examining all matters relating to the
    receipt and disbursement of public funds.

    The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent,
    nonpartisan Agency that works for Congress. GAO is often called the
    ``congressional watchdog'' because it investigates how the Federal
    Government spends taxpayer dollars. The GAO was established as the
    General Accounting Office by the Budget Accounting Act of 1921 (31
    U.S.C. 702). It was renamed the Government Accountability Office
    pursuant to the GAO Capital Reform Act of 2004 (31 U.S.C. 702 note; 118
    Stat. 881).

    Activities

    GAO gathers information to help Congress determine how effectively
    executive branch agencies are doing their jobs. GAO's work routinely
    answers such basic questions as whether Government programs are meeting
    their objectives or providing good service to the public. Ultimately,
    GAO ensures that Government is accountable to the American people. To
    that end, GAO provides Senators and Representatives with the best
    information available to help them arrive at informed policy decisions--
    information that is accurate, timely, and balanced. GAO supports
    congressional oversight by:
        --evaluating how well Government policies and programs are working;
        --auditing Agency operations to determine whether Federal funds are
    being spent efficiently, effectively, and appropriately;
        --investigating allegation of illegal and improper activities; and
        --issuing legaldecisions and opinions.
        With virtually the entire Federal Government subject to its review,
    GAO issues a steady stream of products--more than 1,000 reports and
    hundreds of testimonies by GAO officials each year. GAO's familiar
    ``blue book'' reports meet short-term immediate needs for information on
    a wide range of Government operations. These reports also help Congress
    better understand issues that are newly emerging, long term in nature,
    and with more far-reaching impacts. GAO's work translates into a wide
    variety of legislative actions, improvements in Government operations,
    and billions of dollars in financial benefits for the American people.
