[ Gene Dodaro : ] Welcome to GAO's resource for new and returning
Members of Congress and members of the Biden Administration. I'm Gene
Dodaro, Comptroller General of the United States and head of the GAO.
GAO, also known as the Congressional Watchdog, has thousands of
recommendations that can lead to better government performance as well
as saving federal funds on behalf of taxpayers. GAO's work is
independent, non-partisan and fact based and is conducted for both sides
of the aisle in the House and Senate.
In this section of our website you'll find information on GAO's work on
major challenges facing the nation, such as the pandemic and race in
America.   There is also a section about the government's ability to
meet strategic challenges, including the government's fiscal outlook and
growing debt. Plus you'll be able to find more on the priority
recommendations GAO has made, and GAO's signature reports such as our
High Risk List - a list of federal programs at high risk for waste,
fraud, abuse, mismanagement, or in need of transformation. 
I hope you'll take a few minutes to see the wide scope of our work that
covers the full breadth of the federal government. Thanks for visiting
and have a great day.
