Highlights
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO responded to congressional concerns relating to GAO's testimony on its performance and accountability and high risk series, focusing on: (1) what can be done to provide agencies with greater incentives to resolve their high risk problems; (2) whether agencies are using the Government Performance and Results Act to address uncoordinated crosscutting programs; (3) whether the federal government could solve its management problems by adopting private-sector practices; (4) what government functions would benefit from privatization and public-private partnerships; and (5) how long the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will be on GAO's high risk list.
