GAO Fiscal Year 2014 Performance PlanGAO is unique in its audit and evaluation capacity to support the Congress by performing original research, providing technical assistance, and conducting analyses to help the Congress make informed decisions across all segments of the federal budget, resulting in tangible results and enhanced oversight. GAO's work directly contributes to improvements in a broad array of federal programs affecting Americans everywhere. Once again GAO demonstrated its core values of accountability, integrity, and reliability, in ensuring that it continues to provide high-quality, high-value, and independent support to the Congress in ways that generate material benefits to the nation. Given GAO's reputation for consistently producing high quality work that is typically based on original research, it is not surprising that congressional demand for GAO products and services remains high during these challenging times. [Note: GAO performance indicators are not captured in this StratML rendition because they are not available in machine-readable format and would require considerable effort to manually transform into open, standard, machine-readable format.] Government Accounability OfficeGAO_c090eb6a-92df-11df-b499-6b157a64ea2aThe Government Accountability Office (GAO) is the audit, evaluation, and investigative arm of the Congress; it exists to support the 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." _1d156c06-517e-11e4-ba7f-1c5b79920db9GAO Supports Congressional Decision-making, Saves Resources, and Helps Improve Government_1d157200-517e-11e4-ba7f-1c5b79920db9Well-Being & Financial SecurityAddress Current and Emerging Challenges to the Well-being and Financial Security of the American People_80e69cf0-9157-11df-8892-a7387a64ea2a1Budgetary Resources by Strategic Goal: Fiscal Year 2010 Actual: FTE: 1,186; Amount: $208 million; Fiscal Year 2011 Actual: FTE: 1,352; Amount: $245 million; Fiscal Year 2012 Actual: FTE: 1,251; Amount: $209 million; Fiscal Year 2013 Estimate: FTE: 1,136; Amount: $202 million; Fiscal Year 2014 Estimate: FTE: 1,158; Amount: $211 million.
