Finding Topics

GAO initiates work (including technology assessments) in one of three ways (in order of the priority of the work): GAO also initiates work under the authority of the head of GAO (the Comptroller General of the United States) to invest in significant current or emerging issues that may affect the nation´s future and address issues of broad interest to the Congress.

When a request for a technology assessment is received or developed through one of these three mechanisms, GAO may begin work on it if staff resources are available and the topic is sufficiently distinct from other work already in progress.
