Showing You (Even More!) Money: GAO’s 2015 Performance and Accountability Report
Posted on November 17, 2015
Each year we report the results of our work to you, the taxpayer. And this year we have more great news: we produced a record-high $74.7 billion in financial benefits. In other words, for every $1 Congress invested in us, we returned $134.

There are also things that can’t be measured in terms of dollars. We found nearly 1,300 other ways to make government more efficient. How? By prompting federal agencies to do things like
- improve their responses to hacks and other data breaches
- remove Social Security numbers from Medicare cards and
- protect consumers’ financial information.
