                            GAO Seeks New Members For Tribal and Indigenous Advisory Council
    GAO Seeks New Members for Tribal and Indigenous Advisory Council WASHINGTON (April 15, 2024) The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is seeking nominations for five positions on its Tribal and Indigenous Advisory Council. The Council was formed in 2022 to provide insights and recommendations and help guide GAO’s future work on critical issues affecting Tribal Nations and their citizens.“Since its inception, the Tribal and Indigenous Advisory Council has provided valuable input and insight into the persistent challenges facing tribal communities,” said Gene L. Dodaro, Comptroller General of the United States and head of the GAO. “We look forward to welcoming new members of the Council to ensure GAO’s work includes a diverse range of tribal and indigenous perspectives.”GAO's oversight of federal programs that serve Tribes and their citizens aims to help the Congress determine how best to meet the government's longstanding commitments to federally recognized Tribes. That work touches on critical areas including health care, education, economic development, environmental protection, justice, and infrastructure, among others.The Council is comprised of 16 members representing Tribal Nations, Alaska Native Corporations, Native Hawaiian communities, and state-recognized tribes that can provide guidance on vital and emerging issues affecting their respective constituents and input on GAO’s work on federal programs that serve their communities.GAO is now accepting nominations for five Council positions to be effective September 2024. Nominations must be submitted to TIAC@gao.gov no later than May 31, 2024.For more information about the Council and nomination requirements, contact Paige Gilbreath at (214) 777-5724 or gilbreathp@gao.gov, or visit GAO’s website. Inquiries may also be directed to Chuck Young, Managing Director of Public Affairs, at (202) 512-4800.#####*The Government Accountability Office, known as the investigative arm of Congress, is an independent, nonpartisan agency that exists to support Congress in meeting its constitutional responsibilities.

            WASHINGTON (February 16, 2024) – The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is again unable to determine if the federal government’s consolidated financial statements are reliable. This year’s audit report discusses progress that has been made, but also underscores that much work remains to improve federal financial management and highlights that the federal government continues to be on an unsustainable long-term fiscal path.
