GAO Month in Review Annual 2011
About the Month in Review
The Month in Review is a comprehensive list of all reports, testimony, correspondence, and other publications issued by GAO during the previous month, grouped according to topics. Starting with this month, we have revised our topics to offer you greater precision and flexibility in following GAO's reports and other publications. These topics better reflect current issues, adding new topics like Telecommunications, Human Capital, and Information Security.
We also can now assign more than one topic to a report when that makes sense. For example, a report about education for veterans will be categorized as both as a Veterans report and an Education report. In the past, we could only categorize it as a Veterans Affairs report. So, you may see the same report in more than one topic below.
