Government Audit and Accountability of Federally Funded State-Administered Programs Act
Refreshed 3 h ago

AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Comptroller General, who leads the Government Accountability Office, to report to Congress on which programs and administrative practices pose the greatest risk to federal money that state and local governments manage. The first report would be due within 2 years after the bill becomes law, with more reports periodically after that. Each report would identify weak points that lead to waste, fraud, abuse, and improper payments, review practices that have and have not reduced those risks, and list federal tools available to state and local governments. The reports would also include recommendations to federal agencies and Congress, including on eligibility and enrollment processes, and would rely mainly on existing audits and oversight findings.
