GAO 2022-2027 Strategic Plan: Goals and Objectives for Serving Congress and the Nation

We publish a strategic plan every 4 years to guide our work as we help lawmakers oversee federal operations and address the most important issues facing government and society.

Our strategic goals are intended to help:

• Ensure the well-being and financial security of Americans
• Identify and address national security threats and challenges
• Transform the federal government
• Maximize GAO's value as a leading practices federal agency

The strategic plan includes 12 trend papers (factors affecting the future domestic and global context), and key efforts (our near-term priorities for informing Congress on important issues).
