U.S. Foreign Aid Oversight: What GAO Found

On March 17, 2026, Latesha Love-Grayer, Director of International Affairs and Trade at the U.S. Government Accountability Office, delivered testimony before the Subcommittee on Oversight and Intelligence, Committee on Foreign Affairs, U.S. House of Representatives. The United States provides billions in foreign aid each year-including significant support to countries like Ukraine-but how well is that funding tracked and protected from fraud? In this report, the U.S. Government Accountability Office examines oversight of U.S. foreign aid and identifies risks related to fraud, data tracking, and interagency coordination. As foreign aid plays a critical role in global stability and conflict response, including ongoing support to Ukraine, strong accountability is more important than ever.
