Report No. GAO-18-427
Summary:

A March 2017 executive order requiring executive branch agency reorganization is intended to improve efficiency and effectiveness. If it works, it could save billions of dollars—but similar reform efforts in the past have not always come to fruition.

Our prior work on government reform indicates that agencies can change if they

follow an effective process

allocate sufficient implementation resources

consider workforce needs during and after the reform

In this report, we provide questions that Congress can ask in its critical oversight role to determine whether agencies are on track for effective change.
