Executive summary
Current state
GAO identified seven federal agencies with chronic improper payment rates exceeding 10% for 2-4 consecutive years, with five lacking documented compliance procedures, while OMB has failed to exercise its statutory authority to enforce reporting requirements under the Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019.
Market catalyst
OMB has statutory authority to enforce PIIA but has failed to exercise it for 2-4 years, creating an information void about why enforcement isn't happening. Congressional oversight committees and journalists need this intelligence but lack the FOIA persistence to extract it.
