COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES

               BEFORE THE

                  ON

GAO EFFORTS RELATED TO THE PROBLEM OF

         FRAUD IN THE GOVERNMENT


     Mr. Chairman we appreciate the opportunity to appear

here today to discuss the status of GAO's efforts to prevent

fraud, abuse, waste and error in Government programs, as well

ds some other subjects relative to good management of Govern-

mental funds and programs.

     As you know, fraud prevention and detection represents

only one of the many issues covered in the more than 900 reports

and special studies issued by our office in fiscal year 1979.

These reports resulted in an estimated savings to the Government

of $2.6 billion, and additional savings from management improve-

ments in operations and effectiveness of Government programs and

activities that cannot be measured accurately.
