Over the years, I've seen Peter K. post links to various audit, evalulation, and investigative reports issued by my agency, the Government Accountability Office (GAO).

I thought I'd mention another page on our external website, "From the Comptroller General," at http://www.gao.gov/cghome.htm.  This includes some speeches and presentations by GAO's chief, Comptroller General David M. Walker.   Many of these explain the premises and values underlying GAO's work and examine the challenges facing the nation.  Since some of these presentations address accountability and reporting issues, I thought they might be of interest to the Recmgmt-L:
