Justice Manual § 1-8.300
Government Accountability Office (GAO) Contacts
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an oversight arm of Congress and is often tasked by congressional committees to pursue specific oversight inquiries. GAO will typically notify the Department’s Audit Liaison Group (ALG), positioned within the Justice Management Division, of its upcoming work. The ALG then immediately informs OLA and affected Components of these inquiries. Initial GAO contacts and inquiries made directly to a component should immediately be brought to the attention of OLA and the ALG.
