handle is hein.gao/gaobabmja0001 and id is 1 raw text is: UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE FISCAL YEAR 2010 PERFORMANCE PLAN GAO's Mission GAO is an independent, nonpartisan professional services agency in the legislative branch of the federal government. Commonly known as the audit and investigative arm of the Congress or the congressional watchdog, we examine how taxpayer dollars are spent and advise the Congress and federal agencies on ways to make government work better. Our mission is to support the Congress in meeting its constitutional responsibilities and to help improve the performance and ensure the accountability of the federal government for the benefit of the American people. We accomplish this mission by providing objective and reliable information and informed analysis to the Congress, federal agencies, and the public, and recommending improvements, when appropriate, on a wide variety of issues. Three core values-accountability, integrity, and reliability-form the basis for all of our work, regardless of its origin. As a legislative branch agency, we are exempt from many laws that apply to executive branch agencies. However, we generally hold ourselves accountable to the spirit of many of these laws, including the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA). Among other things, GPRA requires each agency to prepare an annual performance plan covering each program activity set forth in the budget of such agency. This section of our budget submission constitutes our performance plan for fiscal year 2010. Summary of GAO's Fiscal Year 2010 Budget Request GAO is requesting an appropriation of $567.5 million in fiscal year 2010 to support a full-time equivalent (FTE) staff level of 3,250 FTEs to provide the staff capacity and infrastructure to support the continuing high congressional demand for GAO services. This request represents an increase of about $36.5 million, or 6.9 percent, over our fiscal year 2009 appropriation, and a 3.5 percent increase over our fiscal year 2009 staffing level of 3,141 FTEs. This request represents a prudent increase that will strengthen our capacity to provide timely support to the Congress in confronting the difficult array of challenges facing the nation.
