Strategic Goal 3: Transformation

Help Transform the Federal Government’s Role and How It Does Business to Meet 21st Century Challenges

Other Information:

Our third strategic goal focuses on the collaborative and integrated elements needed for the federal government to achieve results. The work under this goal highlights the intergovernmental relationships that are necessary to achieve national goals. Our multiyear (fiscal years 2007-2012) strategic objectives under this goal are to reexamine the federal government’s role in achieving evolving national objectives; support the transformation to results-oriented, high-performing government; support congressional oversight of key management challenges and program risks to improve federal operations and ensure accountability; and analyze the government’s fiscal position and strengthen approaches for addressing the current and projected fiscal gap. These objectives, along with the performance goals and key efforts that support them, are discussed fully in our strategic plan, which is available on our Web site at http://www.gao.gov/sp.html. The work supporting these objectives is performed primarily by headquarters and field staff from the Applied Research and Methods, Financial Management and Assurance, Information Technology, Strategic Issues, and Forensic Audits and Special Investigations teams. In addition, the work supporting some performance goals and key efforts is performed by headquarters and field staff from the Acquisition and Sourcing Management and Natural Resources and Environment teams. This goal also includes our bid protest and appropriations law work, which is performed by staff in General Counsel, and our vulnerability assessments and fraud investigations, which are conducted by staff from our Forensic Audits and Special Investigations team.
