Accountability Office

The Accountability Office, often referred to as the Government Accountability Office (GAO) in the United States, is an independent agency that evaluates how the government spends taxpayer money. It conducts audits, investigations, and assessments to ensure efficiency, effectiveness, and transparency in government operations. By providing reports and recommendations, the GAO helps Congress and federal agencies improve performance, prevent waste, and ensure accountability in the use of public funds. This office plays a crucial role in fostering trust in government by ensuring that resources are managed responsibly and that laws are upheld.
