Who We Are GAO is an independent, nonpartisan agency that advises Congress about ways to make government more efficient, effective, ethical, equitable, and responsive.

Who We Are (cont.) GAO’s core values are accountability, integrity, and reliability. GAO’s work is done at the request of congressional committees or subcommittees or is mandated by public laws or committee reports. 11/13/2018

Background – Request for RAC Study Five members of Congress requested that GAO undertake a study of the RAC program and make recommendations for its continued improvement.
