GAO Performance and Accountability Report 2001

Abstract

The U.S. General Accounting Office is an independent, professional, nonpartisan agency in the legislative branch that is commonly called the investigative arm of the Congress or the Congress's "watchdog." Created in 1921 as a result of the Budget and Accounting Act, GAO has seen its role evolve over the decades as the Congress has expanded the agency's statutory authority and called on GAO with much greater frequency for oversight, insight, and foresight in addressing the growing complexity of government and society. This is GAO's performance and accountability report; it combines an assessment of its accomplishments in fiscal 2001 with plans for continued progress through fiscal 2003.
