GAO is uniquely posited with staff and expertise to watch for accelerating costs in big programs, alert Congress to emerging problems, help pursue efficiency and effectiveness in government, and ensure accountability and integrity in the use of scarce federal dollars. In this era of government downsizing, GAO is prepared to work with Congress in defining the agency's appropriate size and to help develop and implement plans to reach that level. Properly managed, a phased reduction will allow GAO to maintain its core audit, investigatory, and evaluative functions that serve the needs of Congress and the taxpayers. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-OCG-95-5/html/GAOREPORTS-T-OCG-95-5.htm GAO/T-OCG-95-5 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-T-OCG-95-5 Testimony GAO/T-OCG-95-5; Fiscal Year 1996 Budget Estimates for the General Accounting Office; Budget cuts Federal agency reorganization Reductions in force Agency missions Legislative bodies Human resources training Information resources management Investigations by federal agencies Audits Presidential budgets National Performance Review
