GAO detecta sobreestimación de $110 mil millones en ahorros del Departamento de Eficiencia

Negocios Política

La Oficina de Responsabilidad del Gobierno (GAO) informó que el Departamento de Eficiencia Gubernamental sobrestimó considerablemente sus ahorros, constatando que muchos de los supuestos recortes de contratos y ahorros de subvenciones no pudieron verificarse. La auditoría, publicada el 9 de agosto de 2026, señaló que la “pared de recibos” infló los ahorros en miles de millones de dólares.

Informes anteriores de la GAO a principios de agosto habían señalado problemas similares, indicando que la cifra de $110 mil millones en ahorros era inexacta y que el sitio web del departamento presentaba problemas de calidad de datos. La agencia también destacó la falta de transparencia en la metodología de cálculo y la ausencia de documentación de respaldo.
