Book Description
The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent agency that works for Congress. The GAO watches over Congress, and investigates how the federal government spends taxpayers dollars. The Comptroller General of the United States is the leader of the GAO, and is appointed to a 15-year term by the U.S. President. The GAO wants to support Congress, while at the same time doing right by the citizens of the United States. They audit, investigate, perform analyses, issue legal decisions and report anything that the government is doing. This is one of their reports.

Book Description
GAO discussed the performance of the General Services Administration (GSA). GAO noted that: (1) since GSA was established, it has been torn between an internal dynamic that favors a centralized approach to the direct delivery of services to agency customers and a largely external expectation that its primary role should be to oversee decentralized operations within the departments and agencies; (2) all but the smallest of federal agencies are capable of working with the private sector to acquire and maintain the office space, computers, supplies and services that they need; (3) a central management agency is still needed, since decentralized operations require a long-term strategy, common policies, consistent and knowledgeable guidance from market and technical specialists, coordination to prevent competition among agencies, and comprehensive reporting and oversight so that Congress can hold the executive branch accountable for efficient performance; (4) GSA has not adopted two recent GAO recommendations concerning the development of a strategic approach for management of the government's financial assets and assuming an oversight and a more policy-oriented role; (5) Congress has not devoted comprehensive and sustained attention to GSA; and (6) for the proposed legislation regarding regular and sustained congressional oversight of GSA to be effective, the focus of reauthorization should be on holding GSA accountable for defining and achieving a number of key strategic goals and objectives over a longer period than a single year.

Book Description
GAO discussed congressional oversight of the General Services Administration (GSA), focusing on opportunities for cost savings and service improvements. GAO noted that GSA: (1) has a virtual monopoly over the provision of federal office space, supplies and equipment, and certain other mission-support services; (2) resembles a large business enterprise, although it has structural weaknesses in the way it conducts business; (3) dependence on monopoly power precludes it from meeting its customers' demands; (4) has made a commitment to end its service monopolies, separated its policy/oversight and service provider roles, reorganized its Public Buildings Service, and is reforming the way it conducts business in response to recommendations; (5) has expanded its ongoing reform efforts and proposed $24 billion in cost savings over the next 5 years, in response to the Administration's initiative to reduce the size of government; and (6) needs to show that any proposed reforms will involve acceptable risks and are likely to result in improved support services to federal agencies and cost savings for taxpayers.
