Abstract:

GAO stands ready to serve the Congress and the American people at this historically critical juncture and is uniquely positioned to help address our nations challenges and identify opportunities. Pressures to reduce the federal deficit following an economic recovery will mean a greater need for analyses of programs and their effectiveness, as well as a reduction in improper federal payments and closing the gap between taxes owed and paid. Congressional demand for GAO services remains high as evidenced by our workload. We expect that trend to continue as a result of the pressures on federal finances and our economy. For example, we will be working to produce future annual reports outlining duplication, overlap and fragmentation as well as opportunities to reduce costs and enhance revenue. Additionally, the Wall Street Reform Act contained 44 new statutory requirements or authorities for GAO assistance, including audits related to the Federal Reserve.
