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.
