handle is hein.gao/gaobaagvl0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO Performance Budget - FY 2014 Fiscal Year 2014 Performance Plan GAO Supports Congressional Decision- making, Saves Resources, and Helps Improve Government The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is the audit, evaluation, and investigative arm of the Congress; it exists to support the Congress in meeting its constitutional responsibilities and to help improve the performance and ensure accountability of the federal government for the benefit of the American people. As a legislative branch agency, GAO is exempt from many laws that apply to executive branch agencies. However, GAO generally holds itself to the requirements of many of the laws, including the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), as amended. Among other things, under GPRA, each agency must prepare an annual performance plan covering each program activity set forth in the budget of such agency. This section of GAO's fiscal Figure 1: Congressional Requests Received year 2014 budget request constitutes its performance plan. GAO is unique in its audit and evaluation capacity to support the Congress by performing original research, providing technical assistance, and conducting analyses to help the Congress make informed decisions across all segments of the federal budget, resulting in tangible results and enhanced oversight. GAO's work directly contributes to improvements in a broad array of federal programs affecting Americans everywhere. Once again GAO demonstrated its core values of accountability, integrity, and reliability, in ensuring that it continues to provide high-quality, high-value, and independent support to the Congress in ways that generate material benefits to the nation. Given GAO's reputation for consistently producing high quality work that is typically based on original research, it is not surprising that congressional demand for GAO products and services remains high during these challenging times. Figure 1, below, provides information on the number of congressional requests received by GAO each year by source over the past 10 years. Source. GAO.
