Executive summary
Current state
GAO's final report identifies seven federal agencies with programs exceeding 10% improper payment rates for consecutive years, requiring them to submit program integrity proposals to OMB under PIIA compliance, while highlighting OMB's regulatory gap in failing to explicitly direct reporting to GAO and Congress.
Market catalyst
OMB must update its PIIA guidance to address GAO-identified regulatory gap, creating a window for technical corrections that can mandate third-party validation—a requirement that doesn't currently exist but would create a new compliance market.
