Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
This bill requires the Comptroller General of the United States to assess which federal programs administered by states and local governments face the greatest risks of waste, fraud, and improper payments. The assessment must be completed within two years of the bill's enactment and repeated periodically thereafter, examining vulnerabilities in how federal funds are managed at federal, state, and local levels. The Comptroller General will analyze existing audit materials, inspector general reports, and other oversight data to identify problem areas and effective solutions that have reduced fraud and waste in these programs. The assessment will also evaluate what federal tools and resources are available to help states and local governments prevent problems and recommend improvements to federal agencies and Congress. This legislation primarily affects state and local government administrators who handle federal funds, as well as federal agencies that oversee these programs, though no specific funding amount is designated in the bill itself.
