We Want YOU! (to Report Fraud, Waste, and Abuse)
Fraud, waste, abuse, or mismanagement of federal funds erodes the public’s trust in the government. So, we’re trying to make it as easy as possible to spot it and report it!
If you suspect that these kinds of activities are happening, you can anonymously report them to GAO’s FraudNet hotline—(800) 424-5454—via email, or online. Since 1979, FraudNet has received and referred thousands of tips that have helped find and prosecute fraudsters—saving millions of taxpayer dollars.
To learn more about fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement, check out our new video (along with our infographic) on FraudNet.

GAO's mission is to provide Congress with fact-based, nonpartisan information that can help improve federal government performance and ensure accountability for the benefit of the American people. GAO launched its WatchBlog in January, 2014, as part of its continuing effort to reach its audiences—Congress and the American people—where they are currently looking for information.
The blog format allows GAO to provide a little more context about its work than it can offer on its other social media platforms. Posts will tie GAO work to current events and the news; show how GAO’s work is affecting agencies or legislation; highlight reports, testimonies, and issue areas where GAO does work; and provide information about GAO itself, among other things.
Please send any feedback on GAO's WatchBlog to blog@gao.gov.
