The Government Updates Its Green Book for Fraud and Risk

## Summary

The U.S. Government Accountability Office updated the Green Book, which sets the rules for how federal agencies control their money and risks. Starting in fiscal year 2026, agencies must follow these new standards that focus on fighting fraud, stopping wrong payments, and protecting information. Early adoption is allowed, helping agencies stay sharp and secure without extra costs.

## Abstract

The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) has issued its 2025 revision to Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government, also known as the "Green Book." To help ensure that the standards continue to meet the needs of the Federal community and the public it serves, the Comptroller General of the United States established the Advisory Council on Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government (Green Book Advisory Council) to provide input on revisions to the Green Book.
