Contact GAO. The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent, nonpartisan agency that works for Congress. Often called the congressional watchdog, GAO investigates how the federal government spends taxpayer dollars. The head of GAO, the Comptroller General of the United States, is appointed to a 15-year term by the President from a slate of candidates Congress proposes.
Congress created the GAO â initially named the General Accounting Office â through the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921. The agency was created to help Congress manage government spending after World War I dramatically increased the national debt. The Act gave the GAO a broad mandate to investigate how the government spends federal dollars.
