Fiscal Year 2016 Performance Plan

Abstract

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is the audit, evaluation, and investigative arm of Congress. It exists to support Congress in meeting its constitutional responsibilities and to help improve the performance and ensure accountability of the federal government for the benefit of the American people. As a legislative branch agency, GAO is exempt from many laws that apply to executive branch agencies; however, GAO generally holds itself to the requirements of many of the laws, including the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), as amended. Among other things, under GPRA, each agency must prepare an annual performance plan covering each program activity set forth in the budget of such agency. This section of GAOs fiscal year 2016 budget request constitutes its performance plan.
