GAO's FraudNet helps you recognize and report fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement.

Our 2016 annual report found fragmentation, overlap, or duplication in government activities and identified opportunities for cost savings.

GAO again named one of the Best Places to Work in the Federal Government.

Our 2015 guide explains how the Social Security system works and the ﬁnancial and other challenges confronting the program.

GAO launches the Center for Audit Excellence, to promote good governance and build the capacity of accountability organizations.

This collection could lead to billions of dollars in savings, improve service to the public, and strengthen confidence in the federal government.
