Government Audit and Accountability of Federally Funded State-Administered Programs Act

Government Audit and Accountability of Federally Funded State-Administered Programs Act

This bill requires the Government Accountability Office to report on federally funded state-administered programs (including programs subject to federal single audit requirements) that are at high risk for waste, fraud, and abuse.

Specifically, the report must

• identify program areas and administrative practices that make such programs systematically vulnerable to waste, fraud, and abuse;

• assess best practices that strengthen the administration of federally funded programs and prevent such vulnerabilities;

• identify federal tools, resources, and assistance to address vulnerability patterns; and

• include recommendations for addressing high-risk program areas and administrative practices.
