Government Accountability Office (GAO)
Transparency
and accountability are big issues in government today. People want to
know what the government is doing, how they are doing it, and whether or
not it is effective. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is
charged with auditing and evaluating government programs and activities.
You may or may not have seen news reports about the results of GAO
audits or evaluations on issues related to public policies. In some
cases, the audits or evaluations provide information about ineffective
rules or gaps in procedures employed by administrative agencies. The
audits and evaluations of the GAO, as well as the oversight performed by
the executive, legislative, and executive branches of government,
impact how administrative agencies function, how agency heads and
employees behave, and how the rule-making process is executed.
