The comptroller general is appointed to a 15-year term to ensure independence and stability in the oversight of government spending and accountability. This long term helps insulate the position from political pressures and allows the comptroller general to conduct audits and investigations without fear of reprisal or influence from the current administration. The extended tenure promotes continuity in the management of the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and enables it to focus on long-term fiscal issues.
