GAO Finds DOGE’s Savings Claims Largely Unverifiable

A GAO audit found DOGE’s claimed Wall of Receipts savings largely unverifiable, with 96% of reported grant savings unsubstantiated and many contract and lease figures not calculated using DOGE’s own methodology. DOGE had touted about $215 billion in savings, but the review of $110.3 billion revealed methodological gaps and possible overstatements. The report also notes missing ethics/training disclosures for DOGE personnel and urges displaying data quality limitations on the Wall of Receipts.

GAO Flags Transparency Gaps in DOGE's Wall of Receipts Savings

GAO finds that DOGE’s Wall of Receipts savings claims—covering contracts, grants, and leases—are not transparently calculated and lack data-quality disclosures. As of July 7, 2026, the page lists $110 billion in savings, but issues include 108 of 264 leases described as terminated that were already in process before DOGE existed, 96% of grant savings with unknown calculation methods, and a DoD IT contract showing no actual savings after supposed termination; DOGE has not updated the site or explained data limitations. GAO recommends prominently displaying data quality issues, but DOGE did not respond to inquiries.
