Highlights of GAOls financial requirements for fiscal
year (FT) 1978 were presented. The status of F! 1977 funding was
summarized, showing estimated total obligations at $157,128,500.
It was estimated that requirements for FT 1978 would be $167.5
million, an increase of $10.1 million over 1977. About 90% of
the increase would finance current operations and the remainder
would support an increased workload. Requests for more resources
were based on coverage of work in three categories. First,
normal audit coverage will be necded for programs established by
new legislation, such as the Energy Conservation and Production
Act of 1976, and the Public Works Act of 1976. Second, there
will be an increased wcrkload resulting from legislative
mandates for specific one-time studies. Third, needs will be
increased for GAO's basic responsibilities, under statutes, to
supply information to Congress and improve its oversight of
executive agencies. Recent GAO accomplishments were also
summarized. (HTV)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobadxsu0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
