The compact and its related subsidiary agreements provide for a 15-year term of economic assistance. In fiscal year 2009, the two governments must review the terms of the compact and related agreements and agree on any modifications. The Department of the Interior (DOI) has primary responsibility for oversight of Palau's use of compact funds. GAO was requested to report on (1) the provision of compact and other U.S. assistance to Palau in fiscal years 1995-2009; (2) Palau's and U.S. agencies' efforts to provide accountability over Palau's use of federal funds in 1995-2006; and (3) Palau's prospects for achieving economic self-sufficiency. GAO reviewed Palau's compact annual reports, financial statements and internal control reports for fiscal years 1995-2006, as well as other compact-related documentation. GAO interviewed officials from the U.S. and Palau governments and conducted fieldwork in Palau. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-732/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-732.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-732/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-732.pdf GAO-08-732 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-732 Other Written Product GAO-08-732; Compact of Free Association: Palau's Use of and Accountability for U.S. Assistance and Prospects for Economic Self-Sufficiency; Accountability Cost analysis Economic analysis Economic development Economically depressed areas Federal aid programs Federal aid to foreign countries Financial disclosure Financial management Financial statement audits Fiscal policies Foreign aid programs Foreign economic assistance Foreign financial assistance Foreign governments Foreign policies Funds management Internal controls International agreements International economic relations International relations Private sector Reporting requirements Trust funds Cost estimates Compact of Free Association Palau Volume 49 Page 1363 49 Stat. 1363 Volume 79 Page 1219 79 Stat. 1219 Volume 95 Page 499 95 Stat. 499 Volume 99 Page 1770 99 Stat. 1770 Volume 100 Page 3672 100 Stat. 3672 Volume 110 Page 1321 Volume 110 Page 3626 110 Stat. 1321 110 Stat. 3626 Volume 115 Page 1425 115 Stat. 1425 Volume 117 Page 2490 Volume 117 Page 2720 117 Stat. 2490 117 Stat. 2720 Volume 118 Page 2662 118 Stat. 2662 Volume 122 Page 874 122 Stat. 874 Public Law 89-10 Public Law 89-329 Public Law 91-230 Public Law 97-35 Public Law 99-239 Public Law 99-658 Public Law 104-134 Public Law 104-299 Public Law 107-110 Public Law 108-176 Public Law 108-188 Public Law 108-446 Public Law 110-229
