GAO's Congressional Protocols

Abstract

This document contains the General Accounting Office's (GAO) Congressional Protocols governing GAO's work for the Congress. The need for these protocols was consistently voiced to me by Members and staff since my nomination as Comptroller General. I firmly believe they will enable GAO to better serve the Congress, improve satisfaction with our work, and ensure equitable treatment of all requesters. These protocols are intended to provide clearly defined and transparent policies and practices relating to GAO's work. They also provide a means of holding GAO accountable for commitments made to the Congress and ensuring that GAO is consistent in dealing with all committees and Members.
