The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is known as "the

GAO supports the Congress in meeting its constitutional
responsibilities and helps improve the performance and ensure
the accountability of the federal government for the benefit of
the American people. GAO's work includes oversight of federal
programs; insight into ways to make government more efficient,
effective, ethical and equitable; and foresight of long-term
trends and challenges. GAO's reports, testimonies, legal
decisions and opinions make a difference for Congress and the
Nation.
