Book Description
The federal government is the world's largest and most complex entity, with about $3.5 trillion in outlays in the fiscal year of 2010, funding a broad array of programs and operations. This book examines government operations that have been identified as high risk due to their greater vulnerabilities to fraud, waste, abuse and mismanagement or the need for transformation to address the economy, efficiency or effectiveness challenges. Since 1990, there have been over 50 areas designated as high risk and subsequently removed. Solutions to high risk problems offer the potential to save billions of dollars, improve service to the public, and strengthen the performance and accountability of the U.S. government.

Book Description
While the Department of Homeland Security's mission is critical, it is also critical that it keeps its finances in check because in order to protect the homeland we must maximize every dollar spent. Almost as soon as the Department's creation, the Government Accountability Office placed some of DHS's programs on its high-risk list, and today many remain. This list is developed every 2 years by watchdogs at GAO to identify areas in the Federal Government that are high-risk to fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement, or are in the most need of broad reform. It is intended to draw attention to these areas to force agency leaders to improve. Unfortunately some of the programs identified include some of the Department's core functions such as acquisitions, management, financial management, information technology, human capital and management integration, as well as multi-agency challenges such as information sharing and cybersecurity. While the Department has devoted time to addressing GAO's high-risk areas, these reports continue to show examples of programs ignoring best practices and putting taxpayer dollars at risk.

Book Description
Does government fraud, waste, abuse, and corruption make your blood boil? In The Art of the Watchdog, Daniel L. Feldman and David R. Eichenthal show how to fight back. Based on their own work in federal, state, and local government over the last forty years, they will arm you with the tools and techniques needed to put the spotlight on those who cheat and steal from the public or who squander valuable taxpayer dollars through waste and inefficiency. At the same time, Feldman and Eichenthal outline what they see as the good and the bad of current oversight efforts based on case studies from across the nation. Ultimately their goal is to ensure that the "art of the watchdog" does not become a lost one and to improve the quality and integrity of government and strengthen democracy.
