Report No. GAO-20-1SP
Summary:

Did you know that GAO saved a record $214.7 billion for taxpayers in FY 2019? That's a return of about $338 for every dollar of our budget. We did it by recommending such things as preventing payment errors, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of federal programs, and preventing fraud.

We also identified 1,418 other benefits—things that improve programs and operations but can't be measured in dollars. For example, our work helped federal agencies:

Test for and address lead in schools’ drinking water

Become aware of cybersecurity issues in major weapons systems

Improve the Veterans Health Administration’s suicide prevention efforts
