       1THIRD SEMINAR ON GOVERNMENT CONTRO

                   MAY 13-15, 1981           IIIIII

                     MEXICO CITY


     Good morning/afternoon.  I am delighted to again

participate in a Mexican Seminar on Government Control.

These annual seminars and the many other programs and

projects underway to expand the scope of auditing in

the Contaduria Mayor de Hacienda are certainly impressive.

They also remind me of the path the United States General

Accounting Office chartered in expanding the scope

of auditing in our country.

     In selecting a topic for this speech I thought it

appropriate to spend some time discussing how GAO made

the transition from financial auditing to program evalu-

ation, and to provide some examples of work GAO currently

does in areas which may particularly interest you.

I will also discuss how GAO's audits and evaluations

are used in our budget process.

     The General Accounting Office is an independent

agency within the legislative branch of the Government.jj

It plays an important part in the helping the United

States Congress oversee the way the executive branch

fulfills its responsibilities provided under our

Constitution.
