GAO, like other fed. agencies, faces challenges in increasing diversity in its workforce, including top leadership. Because of congressional interest in the effectiveness of diversity offices and the under-representation of women and minorities in legislative branch agencies, Congress asked the GAO¿s Inspector General to: (1) determine whether GAO¿s diversity efforts are achieving better representation of women and minorities in top leadership; (2) evaluate the accuracy and completeness of GAO¿s FY 2007 complaint and discrimination data; and (3) assess the independence and reporting relationships of the head of GAO¿s Office of Opportunity and Inclusiveness. Includes recommendations. Illustrations.
