Staats, at the Annual Banquet of the American P9 Society of Women Accountants of the District of Columbia, May 14, 1969 THE ROLE OFLWOMEN AS PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTANTS AT THE GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICfE The variety of subjects which a woman auditor might be assigned to in the U.S. General Accounting Office is almost endless. These words are not mine. They are the words of a GS grade 13 woman auditor who has been on the professional staff of GAO since 1961. The role of a woman auditor in the GAO does not differ very much from that of its male auditors. Again, the words are not mine. They are the words of a GS grade 12 woman auditor who has been with us since 1964. I begin my remarks with these attestations from two of the 95 women auditors in the General Accounting Office to establish in your minds facts about their life in GAO that, I am confident, hold true for most of them: interesting variety to their auditing work and the sharing of the same professional experiences and challenges as their counterparts. Of course they move forward in their promotions the same as the men, merit being the principal criterion. The only difference that I can think of between women and men in the GAO is that sometimes the former take maternity leave now and then. One of the women auditors in our Washington Regional Office for example is married to a lawyer and is the mother of two boys, 9 and 5. bcv,+f
