Reverse Mortgages: Policy Changes Have Had Mostly Positive Effects on Lenders and Borrowers, But These Changes and Market Developments Have Increased HUD's Risk: Gao-09-836

The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent agency that works for Congress.
The GAO watches over Congress, and investigates how the federal government spends taxpayers
dollars. The Comptroller General of the United States is the leader of the GAO, and is appointed to
a 15-year term by the U.S. President. The GAO wants to support Congress, while at the same time
doing right by the citizens of the United States. They audit, investigate, perform analyses, issue legal
decisions and report anything that the government is doing. This is one of their reports.
