Lapse in Appropriations

Please note that a lapse in appropriations has caused GAO to shut down its operations. Therefore, GAO will not be able to publish reports or otherwise update this website until GAO resumes operations. In addition, the vast majority of GAO personnel are not permitted to work. Consequently, calls or emails to agency personnel may not be returned until GAO resumes operations. For details on how the bid protest process will be handled during the shutdown, please see the legal decisions page. For information related to the GAO Personnel Appeals Board (PAB), please see the PAB webpage.

Highlights

In order to alert the audit community to changes in professional standards, GAO issues Professional Standards Updates (PSU). The purpose of these updates is to highlight the issuance and some key points of recent standards. PSUs do not contain a complete summary of the standards. Those affected by a new standard should refer to that standard for details.
