GAO's work covers virtually every area in which the federal government is or may become involved, anywhere in the world. Perhaps just as importantly, our work sometimes leads us to sound the alarm over problems looming just beyond the horizon--such as our nation's enormous long-term fiscal challenges--and help policymakers address these challenges in a timely and informed manner. This testimony focuses on GAO's (1) fiscal year 2003 performance and results; (2) efforts to maximize our effectiveness, responsiveness, and value; and (3) budget request for fiscal year 2005 to support the Congress and serve the American people. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-474T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-474T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-474T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-474T.pdf GAO-04-474T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-474T Testimony GAO-04-474T; Fiscal Year 2005 Budget Request: U.S. General Accounting Office; Best practices Best practices reviews Agency missions Information resources management Budget authority Budgets Future budget projections Cost control National preparedness Performance measures Personnel management Strategic planning Human capital Public Law 107-289 Public Law 107-306 Public Law 108-7 Public Law 108-11 Public Law 108-18 Public Law 108-20
