Securing, Stabilizing, And Rebuilding Iraq: GAO Audit Approach and Findings

Abstract

While the IGs are designed to focus primarily on exposing fraud, waste, and abuse in individual federal agency programs, GAOs broad audit authority allows us to support Congress through strategic analyses of issues that cut across multiple federal agencies and sources of funding. Although the IGs report to the heads of their respective departments and make periodic reports to Congress, GAO reports directly to Congress on a continuous basis. GAO consults regularly with its oversight committees and relevant committees of jurisdiction regarding key issues of national importance, such as U.S. fiscal solvency, emergency preparedness, DOD transformation, global competitiveness, and emerging health care and other challenges for the 21st century.
