These statutes establish the expectation for federal agencies and the government as a whole to have timely, accurate, and usefulfinancial information for making decisions, monitoring performance day to day, and maintaining accountability and stewardship. This requires agencies to have modern financial management systems, strong internal control, and effective financial management organizations. I DECRPTO We help the Congress ensure the full and effective implementation of legislative financial management reform requirements. A key aspect of this involves a legislative requirement for GAO to audit the U.S. government's annual financial statements, which the Department of the Treasury is required to prepare. Our work also focuses on strengthening the government's financial management systems and operations by identifying financial management best practices; identifying areas in which agencies' financial management systems, operations, and controls fall. short of expectations and then recommending improvements; analyzing financial information reported for federal agencies and activities; assessing governmentwide, crosscutting financial management issues; and participating in setting accounting, auditing, and financial management standards for federal agencies.
