LEGAL DECISIONS AND OPINIONS

GAO's legal work covers the full range of the Government's activities. GAO renders legal decisions nd advice to congressional committees and mern-

of public funds. Bidders on Government contracts may ask GAO to review the procedures used in making awards to other parties. GAO may also be asked to grant relief to Government accountable and certifying officers, and debtors and creditors of the Government who are dissatisfied with the handling of their affirs by other agencies may seek a GAO review.

bers on matters such a I ~ the legality or propriety of proposed expenditures

The Comptroller General's decisions on the legality of expenditures are binding on the the executive branch; payments made contrary to them may be disallowed. Private firms and individuals have further recourse to the courts in most instances.

In a typical year, GAO issues some 5,000 decisions in five major categories:

-General Government Matters - Civilian Personnel - Military Personnel -Transportation - Procurement

About ten percent of GAOs legal decisions are included in an annual volume entitled Published Decisions of the Comptroller General of the United States. Generally, decisions are selected for publication on the basis of their future value as precedent and on the widespread applicability of the issues involved. These dcisions are first published as monthly pamphlets, the last for each quarter including citation tables and indexed digests. An Index Digest of the Published Decisions of the Comp- troller General, including digests of all published decisions and legal citation tables, is published every five years.

GAO issues quarterly pamphlets containing digests of those decisions not selected for publication in the annual volume. Separate pamphlets are issued for each of the five areas of GAO concern listed above.

GAO also published law manuals in each of the five areas, which include legal information, statutory authority, court case precedents, administrative regulations, and digests of pertinent decisions of the Comptroller General.
