The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is known as "the investigative arm of Congress" and "the congressional watchdog." 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.
The GAO recently released several reports on problems at the United Nations. One is a round up of Oil for Food, another identifies weak internal controls within UN procurement practices, and the third report discusses the lack of independence of UN auditors and ties it to funding arrangements of the audit shop.
