This document contains the General Accounting Office's (GAO) Congressional Protocols governing GAO's work for the Congress. The need for these protocols was consistently voiced to me by Members and staff since my nomination as Comptroller General. I firmly believe they will enable GAO to better serve the Congress, improve satisfaction with our work, and ensure equitable treatment of all requesters. These protocols are intended to provide clearly defined and transparent policies and practices relating to GAO's work. They also provide a means of holding GAO accountable for commitments made to the Congress and ensuring that GAO is consistent in dealing with all committees and Members.
Includes modifications to GAO's congressional protocols (GAO-01-145G).

Policymakers and program managers are continually seeking ways to improve accountability in achieving an entity's mission. A key factor in improving accountability in achieving an entity's mission is to implement an effective internal control system. An effective internal control system helps an entity adapt to shifting environments, evolving demands, changing risks, and new priorities. As programs change and entities strive to improve operational processes and implement new technology, management continually evaluates its internal control system so that it is effective and updated when necessary. Section 3512 (c) and (d) of Title 31 of the United States Code (commonly known as the Federal Managers' Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA)) requires the Comptroller General to issue standards for internal control in the federal government.
