Increasingly, GAO also has identified high-risk areas that are in need of broad-based transformations to address major economy, efficiency, or effectiveness challenges. Since 1990 with each new Congress, GAO has reported on its high-risk list. GAO's most recent update, in January 2005, presented the 109th Congress with the latest status of existing and new high-risk areas warranting attention by both the Congress and the administration. Lasting solutions to high-risk problems offer the potential to save billions of dollars, dramatically improve service to the American public, strengthen public confidence and trust in the performance and accountability of our national government, and ensure the ability of government to deliver on its promises. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-497T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-497T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-497T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-497T.pdf GAO-06-497T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-497T Testimony GAO-06-497T; GAO's High-Risk Program; Accountability Defense capabilities Defense cost control Defense procurement Federal agency reorganization Flood insurance Homeland security Hurricane Katrina Hurricanes Pension plan cost control Pensions Postal service Productivity in government Program abuses Program management Property losses Risk management Strategic planning Weapons systems GAO High Risk Program National Flood Insurance Program
